he puts the magic on the wrong man and he falls in love with the other girl, so both men are after her. Then the one girl who both guys where originally after is left with the one she doesn't want. until it's fixed that is. I don't know how they get caught up in it.

There were two men, Demetrius and Lysander, who were in love, not-in-love with the same women, Hero and Hermia. Oberon commanded Puck to squeeze an herb juice into the eyes of one man, so that when he awoke next and found himself with the "right" girl, he would fall in love with her. However, Puck found the "wrong" guy, and the "wrong" guy...uuuuffff!
Oberon quarreled with Titania, because Titania brought a lovely little boy back from India, whose mother had died in childbirth. Oberon, jealous, demanded that Titania give the boy to him to be one of his "henchmen." Titania refused. Oberon managed that Titania sleep, then put herbal juice in her eyes that she should love the next thing she sees.
He arranges that the next thing she sees is one of the laborers, transformed with the head of an ***.
