Scurrying after the White Rabbit, Alice happens upon a pair of Playing Cards who invite her into the Queen’s garden. A beautiful White Rose greets her. Knowing the Queen only wants red roses in her kingdom, the frantic cards attempt to paint the White Rose’s Rosebuds red. The Cards are interrupted by the Queen and her court. The Queen orders the beheading of the White Rose, but Alice intercedes, presenting the Queen with a beautiful Red Rose. The Queen orders a game of croquet to begin, with live Flamingos as mallets and Hedgehogs as balls. Alice’s giggles soon melt away when the Queen discovers that the delicious tarts - the winning prize - have been stolen! The mischievous Knave of Hearts blames innocent Alice. The Queen hastily calls a trial, and the jury finds Alice guilty. Out of nowhere, a monstrous Jabberwocky and her Jibber Jabbers appear. Alice is terrified of this nightmarish Wonderland and wishes to return to the simple company of her cat. She closes her eyes, and when brave enough to open them, finds that her wish has been granted.
