Summary

A grandfather reads his sick grandson a fairy tale about Buttercup, a young woman whose true love Westley is presumed dead at sea. When she is forced into engagement with the scheming Prince Humperdinck and kidnapped by a trio of outlaws, a masked stranger pursues them across a perilous landscape of cliffs, swordfights, and the Fire Swamp to win her back.
