Nemorino spends his last pennies on a love potion, supplied by the quack Dulcamara, in order to woo Adina. But Adina, irritated by his advances, decides to marry Sgt Belcore instead. Dulcamara offers Nemorino a different potion, which he buys, despite being forced to join the army to pay for it. But it is not the potion, but the death of a rich uncle, that is the eventual cause of Nemorino's popularity with the local girls.
