Beatrice and Benedick are the perfect match. It's too bad they can't stand each other. When their war of wits comes to a head, their friends decide there's only one thing to be done - trick the hapless couple into falling hopelessly in love. They set in motion a series of plots, pranks, plans and ploys all designed to bring the cynical Benedick and spirited Beatrice into a "mountain of affection." Will their scheming succeed, or will it all be Much Ado About Nothing?
