The appearance of the ghost to Hamlet is what starts everything going. The killing of Polonius is another key event. Most incidents in the play conspire to keep the plot from moving.

How many deaths in the play result directly or indirectly from Hamlet's plot for revenge?
If we take it that Hamlet killed Polonius believing him to be the king, and therefore as a part of his plot for revenge, then Polonius's death, and indirectly Ophelia's arise from his act of revenge. Claudius of course dies from Hamlet's revenge. Gertrude, Laertes and Hamlet die as a result of Laertes and Claudius's plot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern die just because Hamlet doesn't much like them.
What is a quick summary of Hamlet?
Hamlet is told by the ghost of his father that he was murdered by Hamlet's uncle Claudius who is now the king and Hamlet's stepfather. In the process of pursuing his revenge, Hamlet kills Polonius, Claudius's counsellor and the father of Hamlet's girlfriend Ophelia. Ophelia goes mad and dies, and her brother Laertes comes vowing vengeance for his father's death. Laertes and Claudius plot Hamlet's death, but although Hamlet is mortally wounded, their plot misfires, killing Hamlet's mother and Laertes. Hamlet kills Claudius before he, too, expires.

What happened to Hamlet on the ship?
The incident in which Hamlet gets off the ship to England plays an important role in changing the entire plot. As he was being "escorted" to England by Guildenstern and Rosencrantz, he switches the letter that the King had given with the one he writes. The original message that the King had wanted to pass on contained an order to kill Hamlet in England. However, Hamlet switches the letter with a new one which orders for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to be executed. After this, a pirate ship attacks the ship that Hamlet was on. We are not given much detail on such an occurrence but we find out that Hamlet got onto the pirate's ship as the pirates were attacking the ship that was supposed to take Hamlet to England. Shakespeare does this in order to bring Hamlet back to Denmark and resume the plot. Although, the literary merit behind such a plot manipulation is widely debated as being either acceptable or flagrantly unacceptable.
What is the dramatic function of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in Hamlet?
They serve a more serious purpose. They are used by the King to spy on Hamlet, that's hardly comic relief. (Even though their fate was funny and well-deserved)
