This light-hearted comedy full of charming romance is about a traveling medicine show man who claims to have a love potion. The story concerns a man named Nemorino, who is smitten with the beautiful and wealthy Adina, who appears to be completely out of his league. His prospects remain lackluster when the handsome and dashing Sergeant Belcore arrives. But when Doctor Dulcamara comes into town and sells Nemorino a bottle of his dubious Elixir of Love, things get very interesting.
