All's Well That Ends Well

The young and virtuous physician's daughter Helena desperately loves Count Bertram, but he regards her as beneath his notice. When Helena cures the King of France of a mortal illness, he rewards her with Bertram's hand, but before their marriage can be consummated the Count flees. To win her husband back again, Helena forms a daring and resourceful plan. A plot to unmask the strutting soldier Parolles makes up another strand in this sometimes distrubing comedy of deception and disguise.
