The first act begins in [[EverytownAmerica an unnamed small American town]] with the birth of the protagonist, Joseph Taylor Jr., the son of the town doctor, who plans for Joe to take over for him when he's gone. A series of scenes and musical numbers take us through Joe's childhood up to his graduation from high school. Joe becomes college buddies with another aspiring doctor, the lazy but likable Charlie, and despite the girls he meets at college, he still courts his childhood sweetheart, Jenny, a manipulative young woman who thinks Joe would be a failure if he became a small-town doctor like his father. Joe's mother, Marjorie, considers Jenny an unsuitable wife for Joe because of this, but she dies of a heart attack before she can express her reservations, and the act ends with Joe and Jenny's wedding.
