A kindly grandfather sits down with
his grandson and reads him a bedtime story. The story is one that has been
passed down through from father to son for generations. As the grandfather
reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of
love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup is kidnapped and held against
her will in order to marry the odious Prince Humperdinck, and Westley (her
childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) attempts to save
her. On the way he meets an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong
giant, both of whom become his companions in his quest. They meet a few
bad guys along the way to rescue Buttercup.
