Their big dream is to raise rabbits on their own farm. However, Lennie's need to "pet" young dogs, mice, and other small animals gets them into trouble. In search of new jobs, George curses his companion Lennie but cannot bring himself to leave him alone. When Lennie starts to "pet" the ranch owner's wife, disaster begins to unfold.
