The curse, placed by the witch Dellamorta, stipulates that Rose will prick her finger before her 18th birthday and sleep until awakened by true love's kiss. When her boyfriend Jack is sent to hide with the dwarfs but gets captured by the witch's dragon Burner, the dwarfs take it upon themselves to rescue him and save the princess.
