Synopse
Tom Sawyer and his best friend Huckleberry Finn are usually up to no good. They steal, cheat and play tricks. And it's usually Tom's brother Sid who gets the blame. One night they roam through the cemetery and witness criminal "Injun Joe" stabbing the village doctor. Afterwards Joe blames the vagabond Muff Potter for what he did. The two boys are totally scared and swear each other not to tell anyone. But when Muff is arrested and charged with murder, Tom breaks his silence. Then Injun Joe manages to escape and Tom and Huck have to fear his revenge.
