    A kindly grandfather sits down with his sick grandson to read a bedtime story, but as he does, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup, engaged to the odious Prince Humperdinck, is kidnapped as a means of beginning a war. It is up to Westley, her childhood beau who returns as the mysterious Dread Pirate Roberts, to save her. On the way he meets a thief and his hired helpers, an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become Westleys' companions in his quest to rescue his true love.
