Sans nouvelle depuis près de huit ans de son fils qui a fui la maison adolescent, Pridamant reçoit au matin du 26 mai 2011 par l'intermédiaire d'une agence de détective privé une lettre l'invitant à rencontrer Alcandre, le concierge de l'hôtel du Louvre qui peut lui en donner. Utilisant une paire de clés en or comme code, il se présente à l'accueil de l'hôtel où Alcandre l'introduit dans la salle de surveillance vidéo de l'établissement. Là, ils visionnent ensemble les bandes magnétiques des dernières années où apparaît Clindor, devenu un jeune cadre dynamique et le secrétaire de Matamore, un producteur de jeux vidéo de guerre. Clindor est chargé par Matamore d'être son intermédiaire pour séduire Isabelle, la fille du riche Géronte, un homme d'affaires entouré d'inquiétants gardes du corps. Mais Isabelle est aussi l'amante, plutôt froide, d'Adraste qui lui est imposé par son père. Elle travaille avec Clindor pour négocier les contrats des jeux vidéo et semble avoir nourri une passion pour le jeune homme ombrageux et ne plus supporter physiquement Adraste dans son lit. Clindor joue double jeu et séduit Isabelle pour nouer un fructueux mariage mais reste de corps et de cœur amoureux de la pauvre Lyse, l'assistante de cette dernière. Se sentant trahie, Lyse conçoit un piège pour perdre son amant : elle contacte Géronte pour lui montrer la forfaiture de sa fille et invite Adraste à constater l'adultère. Clindor et Isabelle sont surpris ensemble sur les toits de l'hôtel alors qu'ils tentaient de sauver Matamore d'un pseudo-suicide ; pourchassé par les gardes du corps et Adraste, Clindor tue ce dernier avec le pistolet de Matamore. Emprisonné dans les caves de l'hôtel, Clindor se lamente de son sort en attendant la mort et Isabelle se désespère de son amant condamné en détruisant à coup de club et de haches la Jaguar XJ40 de son père. Lyse vient à cet instant lui offrir la possibilité de sauver Clindor en affirmant à Isabelle avoir séduit le geôlier et pouvoir le libérer à la condition de payer et de fuir. Isabelle accepte et offre son collier de perles pour paiement. Le marché conclu, Lyse organise la libération illicite de Clindor : devenue riche, elle part avec le geôlier et Clindor est contraint de s'enfuir avec Isabelle maintenant sans un sou.

The Duke of Athens decrees that Hermia (Rose Tapley) shall forsake Lysander (Maurice Costello) in favour of her father's choice, Demetrius (Walter Ackerman). The lovers elope into the woods, quickly followed by Demetrius and his love, Helena (Julia Swayne Gordon). The town tradesmen, meanwhile, rehearse a play in honour of the duke's betrothal to Hippolyta. Back in the forest, Titania, Queen of Fairies (Florence Turner), quarrels with Penelope, who avenges herself by sending Puck (Gladys Hulette) away with a magic herb, which, dabbed on the eyes of a sleeping person, shall make the "victim" fall in love with the first person to appear after awakening. Soon, Lysander and Demetrius are smitten with the wrong girls and Titania has fallen in love with Bottom, the egotistical leader of the tradesmen, whom Puck has turned into an ass. When Penelope discovers all this mischief, she lifts the spell and the wedding of the duke and Hippolyta can proceed.
