The Cast tires of Prologue's lengthy exposition Menaechmus One proudly displays the Pelisse he has stolen from his wife. The cook Spatula is the first to mistake Menaechmus Two for his long lost twin. The parasite Diddley confronts the wrong Menaechmus.
Diddley urges Dovey to rebuke her husband Menaechmus. This time, he gets the right one. Dovey summons her father, Antiquides, to mediate the marital dispute. Menaechmus Two, feigning madness, prepares to charge his four-horse chariot against Antiquides. Dr. Klyster's orderlies prepare Menaechmus One for an examination.
