It’s Gnomeo and Juliet’s wedding anniversary, there’s going to be a big party, with all the ornaments from the neighbouring gardens invited. Gnomarella is desperate to go but her cruel stepmother and stepsisters laugh at her, and tell her no one will want a filthy and cracked servant girl at such an elegant affair. Gnomarella’s fairy godmother (a Christmas decoration from the attic) comes and grants her wish to go the party. With a wave of her wand, Gnomarella is clean and crack free, with a beautiful new paint job. Sadly this will not last, and the fairy godmother warns her she will be back to normal at midnight. Gnomarella has a wonderful time, and falls in love with The Gnome Formerly Known As Prince Gnoming (AKA Prince Gnoming, the new gnome in the Capulet/Montague garden), when midnight strikes Gnomarella runs away, but she trips and her foot breaks off forcing her to hop all the way home. Prince Gnoming won’t rest until he finds the mystery girl, and goes around every garden searching for the owner of the left behind foot. The Stepmother, determined to get into a nicer garden (their own is untended and overgrown), breaks off one of her own daughter’s feet to trick him into thinking the foot belongs to her. Prince Gnoming sees through their ploy when Gnomarella reveals herself. Prince Gnoming uses superglue to stick her foot back on and whisks her away from her wretched life…and they live happily ever after.
