The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Tom, Huck and Ben enjoy their adventure on the island while everyone in the village worries about their disappearance. A rainstorm washes away their raft, and it is found by a villager broken to pieces.

Ben and Huck miss the village, so Tom proposes that they return on the very day of their funeral. No other village children, Tom decides, have ever become the center of so much attention.

After the funeral Tom is a hero at school, and everyone wants to hear his story. Charlie inks Tom's schoolbook out of jealousy, and Tom is punished. Becky saw what happened and feels guilty that she did not tell the truth.

Becky accidentally tears a page of Mr. Dobbins' precious book on medical science, and Tom takes the blame. Becky makes up with him.

Frog leaping matches are popular with the school students, and Tom trains his frog to be a great leaper. Charlie doesn't want to hand over his championship, so he stuffs Tom's frog with pebbles.

Tom and Huck discover that Mr. Dobbins wears a wig. On the last day of school, when the teacher whips every student, even girls, for sleeping during class, Tom hits on a capital idea for revenge.

Sid comes down with the mumps just as summer vacation starts. Tom doesn't want to get sick and spoil his holiday. Just then two men come to town with Water of Life, guaranteed to cure every disease.

Tom goes fishing with Huck and Becky. They catch a big one, but only after Becky jumps in to lend a hand.

Becky's great aunt has no children of her own, and decides to adopt Huck. Tom makes him take a bath, dresses him up, and takes him to Becky's house. Huck doesn't like anything that binds, including a tie, and declines the offer.

Alfred hones his swimming skills in order to show up Tom. At his birthday party he challenges Tom to a swimming race and wins. Tom then challenges Alfred to a contest to see who can stay under the water the longest.
