The timid farmhand Nemorino loves Adina dearly, but she has not yet reciprocated these feelings. To try his luck with her, he buys a love potion from the quack doctor Dulcamara with his last money, which is actually a cheap Bordeaux. His behavior now becomes much more confident, which annoys Adina quite a bit. When Sergeant Belcore asks her to marry him, she sees this as an opportunity for revenge. Nemorino, in desperation, buys a second bottle of love potion. To get money for this, he enlists in the army. But just before the marriage is to take place, Adina refuses to sign the contract. Nemorino is not here yet and without him she cannot take revenge. Meanwhile, a wealthy uncle of Nemorino has died, who left his wealth to him. Gianetta and the other farm girls are now very interested in Nemorino, who attributes this to the double portion of the love potion. Proud of the effect of his elixir, Dulcamara informs Adina of the sacrifices Nemorino has made to win her love. This makes a big impression on Adina, who has to admit that she also likes Nemorino. She quickly decides to ransom her lover from Belcore's army and confesses her love to Nemorino. Everyone except Belcore is happy and the gullible villagers immediately buy up all of Dulcamara's stock. This makes a big impression on Adina, who has to admit that she also likes Nemorino.
