Spoilers ahead
Two wandering farmhands, George Milton and his naive companion Lennie Small, find themselves in a precarious situation after Lennie accidentally damages a woman’s dress while trying to feel its texture. Fleeing from an angry mob, the duo hops on a train and makes their way to Soledad, California, where they secure jobs as ranch workers. As they travel, George notices Lennie’s unusual treasure – a dead mouse. Frustrated, George disposes of the mouse, prompting an emotional Lennie to lament the loss of the woman who used to let him play with mice. George gently reminds him that it was his Aunt Clara who provided those small pets, which she stopped giving him due to Lennie’s tendency to unintentionally harm them by petting them too fiercely.
