Rapunzel is a young woman with long, floor-length hair who lives equally a retainer to the wicked witch Gothel, residing in a magically secluded estate in the woods. She finds companionship in Penelope, a young dragon and Hobie, an anxious rabbit.

One solar day, Rapunzel and her friends inadvertently open a secret passage to the basement where Rapunzel finds a gift from her birth-parents: a silvery hairbrush engraved with a message affirming their love for Rapunzel; this leads Rapunzel to question Gothel'southward claims of her abandonment. Penelope also discovers a tunnel underneath the floor. Rapunzel follows it, leading to the kingdom outside. Outside the castle Rapunzel saves Princess Katrina from a pit trap with the assistance of her older brother, Prince Stefan. He tells her the trap was set by King Wilhelm, the ruler of an opposing kingdom who has an ongoing feud with Stefan'south father, King Frederick. Rapunzel hurries off without learning Stefan's name to avert Gothel discovering her disappearance. However, Gothel'south pet ferret Otto, who had followed Rapunzel, informs his mistress of Rapunzel coming together a man. When Rapunzel insists she doesn't know the name of the human she met when Gothel questions her, her paintings are destroyed and her room transformed into a high tower with Penelope's begetter Hugo tasked with ensuring she doesn't leave. As Rapunzel sleeps, the hairbrush magically transforms into a paintbrush.

When Rapunzel attempts to use the brush, a mural of the kingdom magically appears on her wall which she discovers acts as a portal. Rapunzel uses it to meet Stefan again, though she insists he never tell her his name for fear of Gothel, and Stefan gives her an invitation to the masquerade brawl that night. Afraid that her father will be punished if Gothel finds out Rapunzel has left, Penelope goes through the portal and begs Rapunzel to come back. Promising to run into Stefan once more, Rapunzel paints a portal back to the belfry and returns with Penelope. Back at the tower, she paints herself a beautiful costume. Unfortunately, Otto swipes Rapunzel'southward invitation and takes it to his mistress. Gothel cuts off Rapunzel's hair, shatters the paintbrush, and destroys the portal to the kingdom. When Rapunzel once again cannot give Stefan's name, Gothel and then puts a spell on the tower to never release its lying prisoner.

With the help of her friends, Rapunzel manages to escape the tower equally she never lied nearly not knowing Stefan'south proper name, and Penelope flies them to the castle. At the brawl, Stefan is lured outside and attacked by a bearded Gothel wearing Rapunzel's hair; at the same moment, King Wilhelm infiltrates the castle, intending to end the feud by force. Wilhelm accuses Frederick of kidnapping his daughter many years ago—the source of the feud; Gothel arrives and reveals that she was the one who took Wilhelm's daughter, Rapunzel, due to her unrequited love for him, wanting the kingdoms to destroy each other. Rapunzel arrives and Wilhelm recognizes her every bit his daughter. Rapunzel tricks Gothel into running into her painting of the tower, where she becomes permanently imprisoned for her lies.
