Shylock finds himself in court...and loses, despite seemingly having the law on his side. Portia comes in dressed as a man, saying she is a doctor lawyer, and she exposes a loophole in Shylock's case that not only saves Antonio, but conveniently flips the whole thing that now Shylock is on trial for plotting a Venetian's death. Oh, and Act V has a wedding that literally no ones cares about now because Act IV is an antisemitic hellscape.

Fat and Greasy's 20th Ep! Merchant of Venice Act III sees Shylock reeling from his daughter's betrayal, but learning that Antonio's ships may be lost! He escorts Antonio to jail in hopes of collecting his pound of flesh. Meanwhile, Bassanio wins the hand of Portia but rushes off to help his friend Antonio. Portia decides she'll help by dressing as a man. You know, the usual Shakespeare stuff.

Fat & Greasy brings you act two of The Merchant of Venice, in which Shylock's daughter Jessica wants to elope with her love Lorenzo and not be Jewish anymore, so she leaves while robbing Shylock blind. Meanwhile, Portia is still pretty racist, but good news! Her very white true love Bassanio shows up to play her father's dumb casket game. It's a comedy! Kind of? Just don't call it a dark comedy, because Portia wouldn't like it.
