When Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio arrive in town, they encounter the friends and family of their twin brothers, triggering a chaotic series of mistaken identities. Wild mishaps ensue, including wrongful beatings, arrests, accusations of infidelity and madness, and claims of demonic possession in this farcical comedy of confusion.
