Detailed explanation-1: -Malcolm goes to England, where he lobbies the English king to help him raise an army to return to Scotland to overthrow Macbeth. He does raise the army and, with the help of some of the most powerful thanes, and the English forces, he returns to Scotland and his troops defeat Macbeth’s army.
Detailed explanation-2: -Malcolm suggests that his army cut down branches from Birnam Wood and hold them up to remain hidden as they march towards Macbeth’s castle. The 3rd apparition said that Macbeth will only be defeated when Birnam Wood marches towards him and when the soldiers hold the branches it will look like the woods are marching.
Detailed explanation-3: -Malcolm and Macduff are doing a pretty good job of convincing the oh-so gracious and “pious” King Edward of England, along with some English noblemen, to help them in the fight against Macbeth, the tyrant.
Detailed explanation-4: -Another nobleman, Macduff, rides to England to join Duncan’s older son, Malcolm. Macbeth has Macduff’s wife and children murdered. Malcolm and Macduff lead an army against Macbeth, as Lady Macbeth goes mad and commits suicide.
Detailed explanation-5: -Upon Duncan’s death, Malcolm and Donalbain flee from Scotland, fearing that they will suffer a fate similar to Duncan. This is perceived as guilt, and they are blamed for Duncan’s murder. He is later seen hiding in England with Macduff, where he tests Macduff’s loyalty to Scotland and to him by lying about himself.
