The hearth Swamp gives no end of pleasure: hungry ROUSes (rodents of uncommon size), lightning sand (quicksand on steroids), and unpredictable jets of flame shooting out of the floor -- however Westley gets them through it. Unfortunately, it is interested by nothing; they may be captured via Prince Humperdinck and his men as soon as they emerge from the swamp.
So Buttercup makes a deal; she'll move returned and marry Humperdinck in change for Westley's freedom. Humperdinck has no intention of retaining up his stop of the good buy and turns Westley over to his friend and lieutenant, count Rugen (Christopher visitor), as quickly as Buttercup is out of earshot.
Rely Rugen is a merciless and conceited guy whose records is tied to Inigo Montoya's. Two decades earlier than, the remember visited Inigo's father Diego Montoya, a famously professional swordsmith, and commissioned a sword of the best quality. The job turned into hard due to the fact count number Rugen (who did not supply his name) has six arms on his right hand. Whilst the count came to acquire his new weapon, which turned into the quality Diego Montoya had ever made, Rugen might pay handiest a fraction of the agreed-upon fee. While Montoya objected, matter Rugen killed him. Inigo challenged his father's killer to a duel, but he become most effective 11; the count bested him effortlessly, left him with a scar on each cheek, and rode off -- with out his new sword. The grief-bothered boy vowed to avenge his father and spent the subsequent two decades analyzing swordsmanship and searching for the six-fingered guy. He stored the sword.
Count Rugen has made a long have a look at of pain and has built the system, a suction-cup-based device of torture which he believes can inflict the maximum intense pain a human being can revel in. He maintains the system in a secret chamber below the citadel grounds called the Pit of melancholy, and it's miles here that Westley is taken.
Humperdinck, with Buttercup in tow, is going home to prepare for his wedding ceremony and for the invasion of Guilder, for which he plans to get famous support in Florin through murdering Buttercup on their wedding night and blaming Guilder. Buttercup rapidly realizes that her love for Westley is so robust that she cannot deliver herself to marry Humperdinck. She asks to be launched from her promise on the grounds that she'll kill herself on her wedding ceremony night if pressured to undergo with it. Humperdinck pretends to give in. He indicates that Westley may now not love Buttercup, but he guarantees to send his four fastest ships in pursuit of the fugitive, wearing copies of a letter from Buttercup asking Westley to come back back for her. He asks that if Westley does not come lower back, she keep in mind marrying him, Humperdinck, as an opportunity to suicide. Buttercup, serenely confident that her Westley will shop her, has the same opinion.

He orders Florin's Thieves' forest cleared of capability troublemakers and the shield on the fort gate elevated. Fezzik is employed into the Brute Squad assigned to purge the Thieves' woodland and learns that depend Rugen -- Inigo's lengthy-sought six-fingered guy -- is inside the citadel. While he reveals a totally drunk Inigo in the Thieves' forest, Fezzik takes him home, sobers him up, and tells him that he is discovered the six-fingered guy. Inigo and Fezzik clear up to head after matter Rugen, but recognize they need someone who is accurate at making plans -- someone just like the man in black.
Meanwhile inside the Pit of depression, rely Rugen has used the gadget (on a low placing) to suck away a yr of Westley's life. Whilst Buttercup realizes that Prince Humperdinck in no way sent the ones ships to search for Westley, she calls him a coward. He is taking out his anger with the aid of running right down to the pit, cranking the machine all the way up, and torturing Westley to demise. (Buttercup nevertheless has no idea that Humperdinck has Westley.) Fezzik and Inigo listen Westley's dying scream and are available seeking out him. Near the Pit they meet the Albino (Mel Smith), who has added a wheelbarrow to haul away Westley's frame. Fezzik knocks him out by using mistake before he can inform them where Westley is, so Inigo has to call on his father's spirit to guide him to the Pit's hidden front (that's in a tree trunk). They reach the Pit of despair to find that Westley is lifeless and they need a miracle.
Cut to the body tale. The grandson is disillusioned: how can Westley be lifeless? Who gets Prince Humperdinck in the long run? No one, says the grandfather -- Humperdinck lives. The grandson turns into more disappointed, and the grandfather suggests that they forestall reading the e book for now. The grandson settles down and begs his grandfather to preserve.
Inigo and Fezzik take Westley's body to Miracle Max (Billy Crystal), who is retired (having been fired via Humperdinck) and doesn't need to take the process. He threatens to call the Brute Squad to run them off, however offers in while Fezzik points out that he's at the the Brute Squad. Max diagnoses Westley as being often lifeless and (using bellows to give him the breath to answer) asks Westley what in his lifestyles is worth getting back from the dead for; Westley solutions "authentic love."

Inigo and Fezzik go off with Westley and the tablet, accompanied by means of Max and Valerie's proper needs. "Have amusing storming the fort!"
On a rampart overlooking the fort gate, Inigo and Fezzik feed the miracle pill to Westley's corpse. It really works immediately -- as a minimum, it brings him in most cases lower back to life; he can communicate, but he cannot stroll or move plenty. The three overview the scenario: the fortress gate is guarded by using 60 men and Buttercup is due to be married in much less than half of an hour. They need to get in, rescue Buttercup, and kill remember Rugen. Their property: Inigo's sword, Fezzik's power, and Westley's brains. Westley gadgets that with so little time to plot, it cannot be achieved -- even though in the event that they had a wheelbarrow, that might help. Inigo and Fezzik take into account that the Albino's wheelbarrow is available, and when Westley says "what I would not give for a holocaust cloak," Fezzik produces one which Max gave him because "it healthy so fine."
In the castle chapel, the wedding is prepared to begin. Out of doors, a darkish apparition (Fezzik wearing the holocaust cloak and standing inside the wheelbarrow, driven with trouble by way of Inigo, who is additionally dragging the nearly-immobile Westley) approaches the gate. "i'm the Dread Pirate Roberts," the apparition booms. "There might be no survivors!" The guards at the gate waver. Whilst Inigo sets the holocaust cloak on hearth, the guards flee, besides for Yellin (Malcolm Storry), Humperdinck's chief enforcer. Yellin gives up the gate key after they threaten to have Fezzik rip his arms off.
Inigo, Fezzik and Westley encounter be counted Rugen and a few guards in a citadel corridor. Rugen sics the guards on Inigo and Fezzik, but Inigo dispatches them without difficulty. Then he addresses depend Rugen: "My call is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." depend Rugen extends his sword, thinks higher of it, and runs away.
Humperdinck (who heard the commotion on the gate and despatched Rugen to research) has rushed the stupid-voiced clergyman (Peter cook dinner) directly beyond the "I do's" to "man and spouse," and a bewildered Buttercup (who changed into certain Westley would keep her before she become married) is escorted to the honeymoon suite via the king (Willoughby gray) and queen (Anne Dyson), her new in-legal guidelines. Buttercup thanks the king for his kindness and tells him she'll be killing herself rapidly; the king (who's alternatively deaf and probably gaga) replies "might not that be fine!"
Inigo takes off after Rugen but speedy runs into a locked door and calls for Fezzik. Fezzik drapes the rubbery-legged Westley over a healthy of armor and is going off to assist. He's confused whilst he comes lower back a few minutes later and Westley is gone. In the meantime, though, Inigo has chased the rely through the citadel. Added to bay in a ceremonial dinner corridor, Rugen pulls a dagger from his boot and throws it at Inigo, hitting him within the stomach. Inigo seems on the verge of expiring, and the depend is capable of wound him in both shoulders. Then Inigo pulls himself together and returns to the fight reciting his assignment, his voice and his assault strengthening with each repetition: "hi there, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Put together to die!" "stop saying that," the unnerved count number whines simply before Inigo closes in. After inflicting wounds on Rugen's cheeks and shoulders that healthy the wounds Rugen inflicted on him, Inigo lets in the count to good deal and beg for his life, then kills him with a thrust to the gut.
Within the honeymoon suite, Buttercup takes up a dagger. As she prepares to kill herself, a voice behind her says "there's a shortage of perfect breasts in this international. It might be a pity to damage yours." She turns to locate Westley reclining at the mattress and throws herself into his palms. After a second of joyful reunion, Buttercup confesses that with out that means to, she's married Prince Humperdinck. Westley points out that if she didn't say "I do" (which she didn't because Humperdinck made the clergyman skip most of the rite), it wasn't a prison wedding.
Humperdinck enters, putting forward that he's going to remedy the technicality. However first, he wants to project Westley to a war to the death. Westley counters, "No! To the ache!" He describes how he's going to disfigure the handsome prince, leaving him his ears so every shriek and cry uttered through those who see him will echo in his perfect ears. Westley stands and tells Humperdinck to drop his sword. Cowed, Humperdinck does, and then he sits in a chair as Buttercup ties him to it.
Inigo stumbles in and offers to kill Prince Humperdinck, however Westley wants him to stay on my own together with his cowardice. They listen Fezzik calling for Inigo from the courtyard. Fezzik has located 4 white horses, and in view that there are four of them, he added them out with him. Buttercup jumps down and Fezzik catches her. Inigo isn't positive what he'll do with the rest of his lifestyles. Westley asks if he is taken into consideration piracy: "you'd make a exquisite Dread Pirate Roberts." They bounce down and all 4 experience away on the whites.
