Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die!

Beautiful, flaxen-haired Buttercup has fallen for Westley, the farm boy.

When he departs to make his fortune, she vows never to love another. But when she hears that his ship has been captured by the Dread Pirate Roberts - who never leaves survivors - her heart is broken.

Plans involving mercenaries, giants, criminal philosophers, villainous counts, and pirates. So begins one of modern storytelling's most beloved tales.
