She goes to sleep with the toy, following which strange events unfold as the clock strikes midnight. The Christmas tree grows tall and a huge army of mice march across the room. Battle scenes with them bring action into the story which keeps the audiences hooked till the very last scene. As the fight concludes, the prince makes his entrance changing the mood of the play.
