Young heroine Hermia vows to escape her father's mandate of marriage and runs away with her lover to an enchanted forest where they find themselves in the middle of a fairy feud. Also in the forest are a cast of actors rehearsing a play to be performed at the Duke's wedding. While they are rehearsing, one of the fairies, Puck, transforms the head of one of the actors into that of a donkey. When the Fairy Queen, Titania, falls instantly in love with him, comedy and mayhem ensue.
