Orsino is pinning after Lady Olivia but she too is mourning the loss of her brother and refuses to talk to anyone let alone accept any proposals for marriage.Viola (Cesario) starts to work for Orsino and he has Cesario call on the fair Olivia to persuade her to consider Orsino's marriage proposal. In the process Olivia starts to fall in love with Cesario (who is really Viola) while Viola starts to fall for Orsino.

Meanwhile Sebastian is really alive and has made friends with Antonio, goes to Orsino's house even though Antonio and Orsino are enemies. on the way Sebastian crosses paths with Olivia, who mistakens him for Cesario and asks him to marry her, which he agrees to do. later on Cesario and Orsino arrive at Olivia's house and Olivia calls out to Cesario who she thinks is her new husband.
