Westly and Buttercup fall in love while he's working on her farm. He goes off to sea to find his fortune so he will feel worthy of her love and therefore able to marry her. Alas, he meets up with Pirate Roberts, the meanest pirate ever to sail the seven seas. Buttercup, upon finding out about Westly's death, no longer has any enthusiasm for life; when an odious prince asks for her hand in marriage she agrees, having no emotion one way or the other, though she has many nightmares about the upcoming nuptials. Before the wedding can happen, however, Buttercup is kidnapped by a giant, a swordsman, and a short, lisping Sicilian. A mysterious man in black attempts to rescue her and we learn that things are not always as they seem, and true love never dies....
