Upon their arrival, Claudio quickly falls in love with Leonato's daughter Hero, and Benedict and Beatrice (Leonato's niece) secretly fall in love under a mutual pretense of dislike for one another. When the trouble-causing Don John creates mischief for these young couples, will they fall victim to his efforts or will love sustain them?
