A loveable rogue hero saves someone close to him from captivity. He is seduced by a woman who betrays him in order to help her find a magic cup granting eternal life.
Meanwhile the person the hero saved is captured again and coerced into finding the magic cup as only he and the hero know the location, thanks to a special map. There is also a third party dedicated to preventing anyone from getting the cup at all; they don’t get much screentime and only really show up near the end.
The hero and villain eventually find the resting place of the cup. One of the characters is mortally wounded and needs the cup in order to be saved. There is more than one cup, but only one gives eternal life, the villain drinks from the wrong one causing him to age rapidly meanwhile the hero recovers the correct cup and saves the dying character. The place the cup was located is destroyed and the hero leaves empty handed with the person he saved at the start.
