Shrek (Mike Myers) has become a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, the grown-reluctant ogre agrees to autograph pitch forks. Longing for the days when he felt like a "real ogre", Shrek is tricked into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where Fiona is a hunted ogre, Rumplestiltskin is king, Donkey (Eddie Murphy) has never met Shrek, and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) is obese.
