Hermia loves Lysander. Lysander loves Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius who loves Hermia. Hermia's father says that she can only love Demetrius or die. But Hermia likes Lysander. Then Hermia plans to go out of the town to get married to Lysander. Then Helena tells Demetrius. They all run after Hermia and Lysander. Demetrius is really mad and Helena thinks this will make Demetrius like her but it won't. Then Oberon the King of Fairies sees how Helena loves Demetrius but that he doesn't love her back. So then Oberon has Puck his sprite to put magic love drops from a flower that cupid hit. Puck looks for Demetrius but finds Lysander and thinks he's Demetrius. So he pours it on his eyes while he's asleep. He wakes up and sees Helena and then he loves Helena and says why wouldn't I trade a raven for a dove. She thinks it's  a cruel hoax and runs away but he runs after her.

Oberon puts the same drops in his wife's eyes because he's mad that she won't let him have the mortal boy as his page. Then she wakes up and sees this worker named Bottom. Oberon's sprite had turned Bottom into a man with a donkey head.  Oberon's  wife is now in love with him. But later he feels  bad for her because she let him have the boy as his page  and he eventually undoes the spell...

but before that, Hermia woke up and saw that Lysander wasn't there. She thought that Demetrius killed him. Demetrius says he didn't kill him. She ran away but then Helena  thinks this is all a cruel joke because now Demetrius and Lysander are both saying that they love her because Oberon  put drops in Demetrius's eyes when he realized that Puck mistook Lysander for Demetrius.

Lysander and Demetrius wanted to fight each other in a sword fight but Puck made it dark so that they couldn't see well enough to really fight.  Then everyone fell  asleep. Hermia's dad is out hunting with the Duke who is supposed to be married on this day. They find the four  asleep and Lysander wakes up and tries to explain. Hermia's dad isn't listening and cuts him off and says he wants  Demetrius to marry his daughter. Demetrius stood up and told Hermia's dad that he doesn't love Hermia anymore, and that he loves Helena. Oberon had  fixed everything by reversing the spell on Lysander so that he would love Hermia again. Her  father was  really mad but the Duke overruled Hermia's father because he can do that. All three couples  get married on the same day.
