In Vienna, Duke Vincentio pretends to leave, appointing the strict Angelo as his deputy. Angelo enforces old laws, sentencing Claudio to death for premarital relations.

Disguised as a friar, the Duke orchestrates a plan involving Mariana, Angelo's former betrothed, to expose Angelo's hypocrisy. Justice prevails, leading to marriages and the Duke proposing to Isabella.
