But chasing them all is the Prince, and his men led by Count Tyrone Rugen. They in turn are chased by the Dread Pirate Roberts himself. On a horse ride to clear her mind of her upcoming predicament of marriage, Buttercup is kidnapped by a band of bandits: Vizzini who works on his wits, and his two associates, a giant named Fezzik who works on his brawn, and a Spaniard named Inigo Montoya, who has trained himself his entire life to be an expert swordsman. But Westley went away to sea, only to be killed by the Dread Pirate Roberts. Westley was a hired hand on the farm, his stock answer of 'as you wish' to any request she made of him which she came to understand was his way of saying that he loved her.

Buttercup does not love him, she who still laments the death of her one true love, Westley, five years ago. The story centers on Buttercup, a former farm girl who has been chosen as the princess bride to Prince Humperdinck of Florian. The grandson is sure he won't like the story, with a romance at its core, he prefers something with lots of action and 'no kissing', but he lets grandfather continue, because he doesn't want to hurt his feelings.

An elderly man reads the book 'The Princess Bride' to his sick and thus currently bedridden adolescent grandson, the reading of the book which has been passed down within the family for generations.
