Summaries

Tom Sawyer and his pal Huckleberry Finn have great adventures on the Mississippi River, pretending to be pirates, attending their own funeral and witnessing a murder.

Based on the classic book by Mark Twain, comes the story of the renowned young rascal: Huckleberry Finn. When Huck sets out on an adventure down the Mississippi River, he comes across a runaway slave named Jim. Inviting him along on his journey, Huck and his new friend encounter an array of trouble when they are detoured by the King and Duke. As the unlikely duo attempt to escape their dwindling fate, Huck must defend Jim's honor and turn away from the life he once knew.

Having made his fortune from a pirate treasure with partner in knavish crime Tom Sawyer, incorrigible Dixie rascal refuses to be pinned down to regular life, let alone submit to his emerging gold-digger father Finn senior. Huck leaves town by raft, intending to rejoin Tom in Ohio. On the water way, he teams up with escaped slave Joe, whom he helps to avoid capture by a bounty posse, which Old Finn joins. Their off friendship is tested by fraudsters King and Duke involving them in a reward scam and Huck's doubts if Jim will stick by him once safe in the North.—KGF Vissers
