Thelonius kidnaps Princess Fiona and escapes with her into an enchanted forest. Shrek and Donkey immediately take up the chase in their onion carriage.

But the ghost of the vengeful Lord Farquaard appears in a cemetery . A battle breaks out and forces the newlyweds to plunge into a 1,000-foot waterfall . But they are saved by the fire-breathing dragon, who spits a large ball of fire at Lord Farquaard and finally puts him off.
