At the start of the narrative, the scene is set on a summer evening with Johnny and Sue at home alone, where their playful antics lead to an alarming incident involving a kerosene lamp that nearly catches fire. Johnny's calmness in a crisis showcases his thoughtful character, as he quickly solves the situation while a commotion ensues around him.
