The
story revolves around the farcical attempts of the lecherous John
Falstaff to seduce two women, Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, and
restore his fortunes from the coffers of their wealthy husbands.
He sends both women a letter. Unfortunately for him, the two are
close friends and, soon discovering his double dealings, set about
turning the tables. They arrange assignations.
Meanwhile,
Frank Ford, who is of a jealous nature, plans to test his wife's
fidelity. In the guise of Master Brook, a rejected suitor, he pays
Falstaff to seduce Mistress Ford on his behalf and thus becomes party
to Sir John's plans. Twice he almost catches him and Miss Ford together.
The
Page's daughter, Anne, is pursued by three suitors. The French
physician, Dr Caius, is her mother's choice, Slender her father's.
while Anne herself loves Fenton. Mistress Quickly, Dr Caius'
housekeeper, is paid by all three to advance their cause.
The
Host of the Garter Inn is a practical joker and plays a trick on the
French Dr Caius and the Welsh schoolmaster/priest, Evans. When Caius
challenges Evans to a duel, Host lures them both to different
locations and ridicules their French and Welsh idiosyncracies. At
Herne's Oak in Windsor Great Park, Falstaff is set up for his final
punishment and one of Anne's suitors is successful.
