一開始，赫米婭的父親強迫要赫米婭嫁給狄米特律斯，當時的希臘規定家庭可以決定女兒的婚姻，而女兒必須遵守，否則就要被處死或放逐。
赫米婭不肯，與拉山德相約晚上在森林見面并私奔。
赫米婭將她的計劃告訴她最好的朋友海麗娜；海麗娜不久前才被狄米特律斯拒絕，為了討回狄米特律斯的歡心，因此海麗娜將這計劃告訴狄米特律斯。
到了晚上，狄米特律斯跟蹤海麗娜，而海麗娜跟蹤赫米婭，而赫米婭則急于尋找拉山德，四人在森林中迷路并分離，他們累了并在樹下打盹休息。
Meanwhile, Oberon, king of the fairies,and his queen, Titania,have come to the forest outside Athens. and plansto attend duke Theseus and hippolyta queen's *a refused to lend her Indian young elf toOberon as his servant, so Oberon decided to punish the Titania.

Parker also found Lysanderand hermia who both in asleep, he put pansy flower juice on their eyelids, andhope they could woke up and fall in love as well.
同時，仙王奧布朗與仙后提泰妮亞到達了同一片森林，并計劃參加忒修斯公爵和希波呂忒女王的婚禮。
提泰妮亞拒絕把她的印度童仆精靈借給奧布朗當作他的仆人，所以奧布朗決定懲戒提泰妮亞。
奧布朗要小精靈帕克去摘三色堇，并趁提泰妮亞睡覺時將三色堇花汁液滴在她的眼皮上，這樣當提泰妮亞醒來時便會永遠愛上她看到的第一個人。
另外帕克也發現了睡覺中的拉山德等人，他將三色堇花汁液滴在他們的眼皮上，并希望他們醒來時能有情人終成眷屬。
Meanwhile, Quince and hisband of six labourers have arranged to perform their play about Pyramus and Thisbe for Theseus' wedding and venture into the forest, near Titania's bower, for theirrehearsal. Bottom is spotted by Puck, whotransforms his head into that of a donkey. When Bottomreturns for his next lines, the other workmen run screaming in terror, much toBottom's confusion, since he hasn't felt a thing during the *ined to wait for his friends, he begins to sing to himself. Titania isawakened by Bottom's singing and immediately falls in love with him. Shelavishes him with attention and presumably makes love to him. While she is inthis state of devotion, Oberon takes the changeling. Having achieved his goals,Oberon releases Titania, orders Puck to remove the donkey's head from Bottom,and arranges everything so that Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, and Helena willbelieve that they have been dreaming when they awaken.
在同時，織工波頓和他的勞工朋友們在同一片森林中排演悲劇《皮拉摩斯和西斯貝》，他們計劃在忒修斯公爵和希波呂忒女王的婚禮上表演，并把它演成滑稽的喜劇。
可憐的織工波頓在換裝時，被小精靈帕克惡作劇變成驢頭。
不巧仙后提泰妮亞醒來見到的第一個人便是他，于是仙后瘋狂的愛上了驢頭人身的波頓。
森林的另一邊，拉山德和狄米特律斯醒來時見到的第一個人都是海麗娜，于是海麗娜變成兩人追求的對象，赫米婭則同時被兩人拋棄。
拉山德和狄米特律斯為了海麗娜而決斗，兩人在森林中迷路并在樹下打盹休息。
The fairies then disappear,and Theseus and Hippolyta arrive on the scene, during an early morning * wake the lovers and, since Demetrius does not love Hermia any more,Theseus overrules Egeus's demands and arranges a group wedding. The loversdecide that the night's events must have been a dream. After they all exit,Bottom awakes, and he too decides that he must have experienced a dream"past the wit of man". In Athens, Theseus, Hippolyta and the loverswatch the six workmen perform Pyramus and Thisbe. Given a lack of preparation, theperformers are so terrible playing their roles to the point where the guestslaugh as if it were meant to be a comedy, and afterward everyone retires tobed. Afterward, Oberon, Titania, Puck, and other fairies enter, and bless thehouse and its occupants with good fortune. After all other characters leave,Puck "restores amends" and suggests to the audience that what theyjust experienced might be nothing but a dream
仙王奧布朗見苗頭不對，于是要求小精靈帕克自己去解決自己闖下的禍。
于是帕克再趁提泰妮亞和拉山德睡覺時，將三色堇花汁液滴在他們的眼皮上。
這次提泰妮亞見到的第一人是奧布朗、拉山德見到的第一人是赫米婭，織工波頓的驢頭法術也被解除；狄米特律斯的法術則沒有被解除，他將會與海麗娜永遠相愛。
仙王則與仙后重修舊好。
當早晨來臨時，情侶們和勞工們決定這一夜發生的所有不合理事情一定是一場夢。
Lovers returned to Athens, hermia's father nolonger insist on his decision, because he saw demetrius had changed his * happy to attend duke Theseus and hippolyta queen's wedding, threecouples get married at the same time, and watch burton the waver and hisfriends performed a tragedy which is no longer a tragedy.
情侶們回到雅典，赫米婭的父親不再堅持他的決定，因為他看到狄米特律斯改變了他的心意。
情侶們快樂的參加忒修斯公爵和希波呂忒女王的婚禮，三對新人同時結婚，并觀賞織工波頓和他的朋友們所表演的不是悲劇的喜劇。
