- Before starting work at a new ranch, George and Lennie will spend the night by a pool. George is angry with Lennie because they had to leave their previous job so quickly. Lennie has a penchant for getting himself into trouble. Lennie persuades George to tell him about their imaginary farm. It appears to be a tranquil environment.Lennie is found stroking a dead mouse in his pocket, which George discovers. He complains that caring for Lennie limits his ability to live a more free life. We learn that Lennie's innocent petting of a girl's dress cost them their last jobs in Weed.
- Old Candy shows George and Lennie around the ranch when they arrive in the morning. They meet their boss and his son, Curley; George is wary of Curley's demeanor and advises Lennie to avoid him. They meet Curley's attractive and apparently flirtatious wife, as well as Slim and Carlson, two of their coworkers.
- Later that night, George explains to Slim why he and Lennie travel together, as well as what happened in Weed. The men talk about Candy's old dog, who is tired and sick. Carlson shoots it as a goodwill gesture. When George tells Candy about their dream of acquiring land, Candy enthusiastically offers to join them he has capital, so they could make it happen almost immediately. Curley starts a fight with Lennie, and Lennie severely injures Curley's hand.
- Candy joins them but is awkward in Crooks' room, but they quickly start talking about the dream farm. Curley's wife shows up and completely destroys the party. Candy confronts her and begins to discredit their hopes and dreams. Curley's wife leaves as the other men return to town. George chastises Lennie for breaking into Crooks' room and telling others about the dream farm. Crooks claims he no longer cares about the farm.
- Curley's wife finds him and they talk about their dreams. She wanted to be a movie star. They both discover that they enjoy soft things. Curley's wife allows Lennie to stroke her hair, but she becomes irritated and refuses to let go when he strokes it too hard. Lennie loses her cool and breaks her neck.
- Lennie returns to the pool, where he and George stayed the night before heading to the ranch. Lennie'sees' his Aunt Clara and a massive rabbit who starts lecturing him on his flaws. George finds Lennie and calms him down by talking about their dream. George shoots because he knows Curley intends to kill Lennie in a gruesome manner. Lennie arrives first, before the other men.
