Two twins were born within one hour, and later, also within one hour, in danger of their lives, because they were on a ship, which was shipwrecked. The captain carried the girl, Viola, then rescued the boy, maybe, who is Sebastian. The island where they land is Aleria? The captain knows the ruler, Orseno. Who was seeking the hand of Olivia, the daughter of a recently dead count.
Viola wanted to go serve Olivia. But Olivia doesn't see anyone, because she's sad for her brother's death (her dad and her brother died). Instead, Viola decided to dress as a boy and serve Orseno as a page. The captain helped her dress as a boy.
Sebastian was her brother, and was saved, but Viola doesn't know that.
Viola is Cesario in the new world, and becomes a servant of the Orseno, who is pursuing Olivia. Olivia spurned him, and he tells all to Cesario.
Orseno and Cesario become good friends, and Orseno tells him all about how much he loves Olivia. Viola falls in love with Orseno.
Orseno sends Cesario to go to Olivia and tell her how much he loves her, and make her love him too. So Cesario goes, and sees Olivia.
But Olivia falls in love with Cesario, sends him a ring, and decides that she wants to marry him. She sends Cesario back to Orseno, and tells Orseno that she cannot love him, and not to ask any more.
Cesario tells these things to Orseno, and Orseno sends Cesario back to Olivia. Viola is realizing that this costume is a bad thing, because she loves Orseno, who thinks she's a man, and Olivia loves her, and thinks she's a man.
Cesario goes back to Olivia and asks her again to love Orseno. But Olivia tells Cesario that it's HIM she loves, not Orseno. Viola knows this is trouble, and leaves quickly. On the way out, she meets another man, who used to want to marry Olivia. He challenges Cesario to a fight. Viola is afraid, and almost tells that she's a girl to avoid fighting, but a man comes to rescue her and fight for her.
But before they can fight, the police come and take him. He looks at Viola, and asks for his money back. Viola has just a little money, and gives it to him, but says he hadn't given her any money. The man gets really mad and calls Cesario ungrateful, calling him Sebastian.
It turns out this man is a sea captain, Antonio and had rescued Sebastian, they were good friends. When Sebastian decided to come to Aleria, they came together, even though the sea captain expected trouble there, because many years ago, he had kill Orseno's nephew in a sea battle.
Antonio and Sebastian had just gotten to the Island, and he'd given Sebastian his purse to buy anything he wanted. Sebastian hadn't come back on time, so Antonio went looking for him, and then got into the fight for Cesario, thinking that it was Sebastian.
Cesario ran away quickly, hoping to avoid another fight, but not long after she had run away, Sebastian came back, and the man, thinking it was the same person, challenged him again, and they fought. The fight was ended by Olivia, who called Cesario back to her. They went to her house, and got married.
Then Orseno came back with Cesario, who is Viola. Antonio arrives on the scene, and tells Orseno how for three months, he has been with Sebastian, after resucing him, and now he's been so ungrateful. Orseno, tells him he's crazy, that this youth has served him for three months. Olivia comes out and is talking lovingly to Cesario, and Orseno also gets mad at Cesario, and takes him away to beat him. But Olivia won't let her husband leave. Cesario (Viola) denies that she married Olivia, but the priest indicated that she did. Just then, Sebastian walks up, everyone figures out who everyone is, after a bit, and Orseno comes to realize that Viola is a girl and loves him, decides to marry her right then and there, with the same priest.
So the twins were born together, shipwrecked together, and also married the same day.
