The film begins with Prince Charming performing in a poorly done dinner theatre show. After being heckled by the audience and returning to his "dressing room" (a small table with a cracked mirror in a back alley behind the dinner-theater) Charming complains that he hasn't gotten his "happily ever after" and that just isn't fair. Meanwhile, King Harold has fallen ill and his ogre son-in-law Shrek has been summoned to take his place for a few days. Although Shrek reluctantly agrees, he has difficulties looking or acting the part of being the new King. He tells his wife Fiona how much he's looking forward to going back to their swamps, just the two of them. Fiona hints that she will have children, but Shrek completely misses the hint and responds that children are not his kind of thing. Despite what he learns about his friend's children, he knows that his close friend Donkey knows best.

However, King Harold is on his deathbed. He tells Shrek that he and Fiona that they are next in line to be king and queen. Shrek declines, knowing that there has to be someone else for the job. With his final three breaths, he tells Shrek that there is one other heir who can become the new King of Far Far Away: his nephew, Arthur Pendragon. The entire kingdom mourns for their king's death, but Prince Charming sees this as an opportunity to usurp the throne. Shrek sets out to find 'Artie', along with Donkey and Puss in Boots. As they're sailing off, Fiona runs to the dock and announces to Shrek that she's pregnant. Surprised but shocked, Shrek begins to have nightmares about his future children. Thinking that Shrek is worried about what having children would mean for his life, Donkey tries to reassure him that fatherhood was a great thing for him. Shrek explains that he is more worried about not being a good father. Shrek, Puss and Donkey arrive at Worcestershire Academy, where they met up with Fiona's long-lost cousin, Arthur and they eventually discover that Arthur, who is an academy student, is a loser picked on by other students at his school. Arthur joins with the three friends and is feeling good about his new role until Donkey and Puss scare him with responsibilities. Arthur gets into an argument with Shrek and they fight over the ship. They end up crashing on an island where they meet Arthur's retired wizard teacher, Merlin. In order to help Shrek and Arthur reconcile, he makes them look into a thick cloud of smoke to reveal their thoughts. Shrek sees a baby carriage, but lies and says that he sees a "rainbow pony". Merlin is convinced and moves on to Arthur, who sees a bird and its father. The father bird abandons the chick, leaving him frightened and confused. The chick tries to follow but falls to the ground.

After Merlin retreats to his hut, Shrek takes this opportunity to show Arthur that they're not so different after all. Just as Arthur had a father who abandoned him, Shrek had a father who was pretty bad as well. In fact, he tried to eat him. Shrek counsels Arthur that just because someone "calls you a monster, or a loser, it doesn't mean you are one". For years Shrek had been feared by people, believing he was horrible and terrifying, and for years, he believed he was a monster like his father. Gradually, he learnt to see himself for who he is. Arthur begins to identify with Shrek and the two become friends.

Meanwhile, Prince Charming has gone to the Poison Apple Bar where he convinces all fairy tale villains, Captain Hook, the Wicked Queen, a Cyclops, Rumpelstiltskin, Mable the Ugly Stepsister, Headless Horseman, Little Red Riding Hood, Stromboli, and assorted witches, black knights, evil dwarves, and evil magical trees to join him in a fight for their "happily ever after". The villains feel their side of the story has never been told and now is the time to do it. Fiona is at the castle, at a baby shower with her mother, Queen Lillian and princess friends, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. She is also with Doris the Ugly Stepsister, and Donkey's wife, Dragon. Suddenly, Prince Charming and the other villains arrive to invade the kingdom. Fiona and her friends escape just in time, but the rest of the kingdom is thrown into chaos and the villains take control of Far Far Away.

The Three Little Pigs, Big Bad Wolf, the Gingerbread Man, and Pinocchio are confronted by Charming, Captain Hook, a Cyclops, and one of the evil magical trees. Prince Charming demands to know where Shrek is. Gingy sees his life pass before his eyes while Pinocchio is able to circumvent the fact that his nose would grow if he lied by telling several lawyer-esque half truths, but one of the Three Little Pigs breaks down and accidentally tells that Shrek is looking for the new heir. Charming decides to send some of his men to hunt down Shrek for a final showdown. Shrek, Puss, Donkey and Arthur wake up to find themselves surrounded by the villains sent by Charming. Working as a team, the group manages to fight the villains away, but it doesn't bring them any closer to Far Far Away. Arthur decides to ask Merlin, and he whips out some acting skills to convince the old wizard. Merlin prepares to put a spell on them and warns them that although the spell should work, there may be some minor side effects. Before he gets a chance to fully explain, the four friends are zapped into Far Far Away. The side effects cause Puss and Donkey to switch bodies since they accidentally held hands to stay together. Fiona navigates the underground tunnels of the palace with her friends and as they met with Charming, Rapunzel betrays them to become the new queen of Far Far Away and Charming's wife. The remaining girls are imprisoned and, after meeting with Puss and Donkey, Queen Lillian uses her head to bust down two stone walls, leading to their escape from the prison and the girls become independent.

Shrek arrives at the city to find everything in complete disarray. A trapped Pinocchio gives Shrek some information on what has happened since he left. Charming is bent on revenge against Shrek for 'stealing' his "happily ever after" and plans to kill Shrek in a play later that night. Shrek sneaks into Charming's dressing room, but Charming's men arrive shortly and quickly capture everyone. In an effort to save Arthur, Shrek tells Arthur that he wasn't the next in line for the throne, he was just some weirdo who Shrek wanted to take his place as King of Far Far Away. After hearing Shrek insult Artie that way, Charming believes Shrek really just used the boy and lets him go. An angry yet disappointed Arthur escapes being killed by the prince. Charming's play culminates when Shrek is led onto the stage. Shrek then humors the audience by ridiculing Charming's singing and acting. Just as Charming is about to kill Shrek, Fiona and her friends leap onto the stage to confront the villains.

Arthur has been convinced by Donkey and Puss in Boots to return after they explained what Shrek's true intentions were, and he manages to convince the rest of the villains that they don't need to do this. He tells them about the speech that Shrek gave them, and the fairy tale villains decide that they don't need to be villains anymore. Unfortunately, Charming doesn't feel the same way, or want to give up his "happily ever after". Charming then attempts to kill Artie with his sword, but Shrek protects him and pretends to be stabbed with the sword. Then Charming finds out, and becomes angry that he didn't get his "happily ever after," and Shrek says he'd better keep looking for his, because Shrek wasn't going to give up his own. Shrek throws him to the side of a prop tower, and Dragon knocks the tower down, crushing Charming and presumably killing him. The crown he was wearing then slides across stage, and Shrek offers it to Arthur, who accepts and then holds it out to the crowd in acceptance. Meanwhile, the Gingerbread Man has slid onto the stage and shows Rapunzel's hair, revealing it to be a wig. The bald Rapunzel flees in humiliation.

Donkey and Puss in Boots get a chance to ask Merlin, who just appeared, to help them and switched them back to normal, but leaves their tails temporarily mismatched (that is, until the next scene). The film concludes a few months later, with Shrek and Fiona back in their swamp, now parents to ogre triplets and Shrek begins to feel like a good father.
