A merchant stands under sentence of death in Ephesus, given until sundown to raise a ransom he cannot pay, and he spends the reprieve telling the court how the sea once tore his family in half. Then the play turns that family loose in the same city without telling any of them: two sets of identical twins, two masters named Antipholus, two servants named Dromio, one afternoon, and every door in town opening on teh wrong person.

I to the world am like a drop of water / That in the ocean seeks another drop,
