The story follows when the Prince is transformed into a beast when he turns away a haggard old woman who offers a rose as payment.  Warning him not to be deceived by looks, the old woman curses the prince by turning him into the beast.  He can be only be freed when he finds true love and who truly loves him back by the time the last rose falls from the enchanted rose.
When Belle’s father, Maurice, is taken prisoner in the Beast’s castle, Belle offers herself as a prisoner to protect her father instead.  Belle begins to see the human side of the Beast, as she slowly starts to fall for him.  But the vain hunter, Gaston, has his own desires to marry Belle himself. 
Overcoming Gaston and his attempts to have Maurice committed when he learns of Gaston’s selfish need to marry Belle, and Gaston’s revenge for not giving Belle’s hand in marriage, Gaston manages to convince the villagers to have  Maurice committed.  The Beast releases Belle to save her father, but gives her a mirror to remember him by.   When Belle spurns Gaston’s advances, he has her locked up with her father, but they escape when Gaston heads for the Beast’s castle.
Gaston barely has time to celebrate after he mortally wounds the Beast when he falls to his own death.  The Beast dies in Belle’s arms, but as the enchantress enters the Beast’s room just as Belle confesses her love for the Beast.  As Belle and the Prince, who has been turned back, kiss, the castle staff turn back into their human form as the castle is returned to its former glory.
