Shipwrecked on the coast of Illyria, Viola believes her twin brother drowned. She dresses as a boy and goes to work for Duke Orsino. But her brother is alive – and a series of mistakes and accidents involving the beautiful Olivia and her cousin Sir Toby Belch, along with the steward Malvolio and the clown Feste, leads eventually to Viola's being reunited with her brother and her engagement to the Duke.
