Summary:
Young Bassanio desires the lovely Portia, but in order to win the fair lady's hand properly, he needs money. Taking a loan from the moneylender Shylock, Bassanio names his friend Antonio as guarantor, but when the loan comes due and is unpaid, Shylock demands a particular penalty from his debtor-a pound of his flesh. Now Portia and the two friends must find a way to thwart Shylock from his plans and save Antonio.
