Clara and her Nutcracker Prince travel to Springtime, where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. They are greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy, her Cavalier, and her attendants: butterflies, mushrooms, and other woodland creatures. When the Prince tells them how Clara saved his life, the Sugar Plum Fairy summons her subjects to entertain them with wonderful dances—Spanish and Fisherman dances, a duet for an Anacostian man and woman. Brilliant red Cardinals frolic with a Tom Cat; an American Frontiersman dances with Frontier Girls; Mother Barnum dances with her circus Clowns; and the waltz of the Cherry Blossoms is led by the Dew Drop Fairy. The celebration comes to a spectacular climax when the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier perform a grand pas de deux. Just before the curtain falls, we see Clara with her nutcracker, marking an end to her magical journey.
