At the start of the play, we are introduced to a barn bustling with activity during a corn husking event, where various characters engage in light banter and flirtation. Among them are Tom Larcom, who is infatuated with Kitty Corum, and Harry Maynard, who is preparing to leave home for the city. The conversation touches on aspirations and relationships, with undertones of rivalry and longing. Meanwhile, Robert Thornton, a wealthy man with questionable intentions, looms in the background, hinting at the darker paths that lay ahead for Harry.
