The scene opens with Joe Keller sitting in his backyard, reading the newspaper in a small town shortly after World War II has ended. A strong wind from the previous night has knocked over an apple tree that was planted in memory of Larry Keller, Joe and Kate's son. Frank Lubey, a neighbor, stops by and mentions that Kate asked him to check Larry's horoscope to see if November 25, the day he went missing, was a "lucky day." Another neighbor, Dr. Jim Bayliss, joins the conversation with Joe.

Meanwhile, a young woman named Ann (Annie) Deever, who used to date Larry, arrived the night before and is now sleeping in Larry's old room. Sue Bayliss and Lydia Lubey also come by to chat with their husbands. A boy named Bert pretends to be a police officer that Joe supposedly hires, imagining a jail in Joe's basement.

Chris Keller, Joe and Kate's other son, walks in and tells Joe that he saw Kate in the yard during the storm when the tree fell, and she ran inside, crying. They both understand that Kate is holding onto the hope that Larry will come back, even though they know it's not possible. Chris shares with Joe that he has invited Ann over because they are in love and plan to get married. When Kate arrives, she talks about a dream she had where Larry was flying his plane over their house, calling for his mother. Realizing that Kate can't face the truth about Larry's death, Joe and Chris decide to tell her about the wedding plans that evening during dinner after having a few drinks.

When Ann comes outside, Jim inquires about her father, who is in prison. It's revealed that Ann's father, Steve Deever, was Joe's business partner. Three years ago, their factory produced aircraft engines for the Air Force. When it was discovered that someone had knowingly shipped defective engines that led to the deaths of twenty-one American pilots, Steve was found guilty, while Joe was cleared because he wasn't present when the faulty engines were sent out. The entire play centers around this situation.
