Young love birds Claudio and Hero are about to be married. On the eve of their wedding, Claudio comes to the conclusion that Hero was unfaithful to her. The next day, Hero is humiliated at the altar and dies from grief.

Meanwhile, his cousin Beatrice is at loggerheads with Benedick. Both are perfectly suited for each other but are in denial. The others plot to get them together, and the couple is tricked into confessing their feelings for each other.
