and the whole town'll be wantin' to see you.

It's not your place to be worrying

about that Injun Joe.

I hear a detective came up from St. Louis.

They say he found a clue.

Yeah, well, you can't

hang a clue for murder.

Did you hear that?

- What?

- I thought I heard somethin'.

- Where?

- Maybe...

at the front door.

Well, go see, Sid.

[ Sid ]

One moment, please.!

Oh, Tom, there's an Indian gentleman

to see you.

[ Laughing ]

Tom! Wha--

Tom! Sid!

[ Sighs ]

[ Leaves Rustling ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Panting ]

- [ Screams ]

- Shh.

You scared?

You should be.

Huck, what are you doin'?

- Remember this?

- Yeah. But, Huck--

According to this, you should be dead

and rottin' right about now.

I had to help Muff.

Not helpin' him

would've been wrong.

I know, but--

You swore an oath, Tom.

Don't that mean anything

to ya?

Yeah, of course it does.

It's just--

It just felt like

the right thing to do.

- Huck, it was the right thing to do.

- No!

You swore an oath, Tom.

You swore!

What was I supposed to do, huh?

Just lay back and let Muff Potter swing?

You tell me, Huck!

You know you ain't never been in more trouble

than you are right now!

- Injun Joe's gonna kill you.

- You think I don't know that?

Just don't expect me to stick around

and save your little neck this time.

I don't.

Good.

'Cause I ain't goin' to.

Then why'd

ya come back?

I don't know.

To tell you

to be careful.

I've been

to your funeral once.

I ain't goin'again.

[ Sighs ]

Huck! Hey, Huck!

Muff Potter's my friend.

When a friend's in trouble,

you can't run away.

If you go to the crossroads

and you listen to the wind...

it'll tell you all the important

things that are gonna happen

to ya in the next twelve months.

Now,you may be wantin'to tell,

you may be wantin'to fuss--

[ Girls Laughing ]

- [ Gasps ]

- Hmm?

Come back here.

I'm gonna get you!

[ Aunt Polly ]

Tom, don't--Sid, now don't--

[ Tom ]

Come back here! I'm not done with you yet!

I sow hemp seed:

and he who is to be my husband...

let him come

and harrow it.

Look into the mirror,

and you shall see the form of your husband.

[ Girls Giggling ]

[ Man ]

Come and get some pie, gals.

[ Tom ] Come on, Sid.! Come here.

Got another spider for ya.!

[ Sid ]

Na-na-na-na.

Hey, Becky.

Oh, no!

- What? What'd I do?

- We're gonna be married.

- Huh?

- You needn't look so disappointed.

I don't like it

any better than you do!

[ Sighs ]

[ Muff]

Every one of'em was dead.

And every one of'em...

was smilin!

[ Children Gasp ]

Well, I run out of stories.

- How 'bout we go look at the cave?

- [ Cheering ]

Come on, boys and girls.

Let's go look at that cave!

[Judge ]

Everybody stay together. No wandering off!.

So he said, ""Me?'"in a silly voice.

So I said--

- Hello, sir.

- This truly is a wondrous place.

- God's own cathedral, Your Honor.

- Well put, Mr. Potter.

[Judge ]

Be careful, Rebecca.

- I will.

- You children stay to the forechambers.

[ Muff]

You heard thejudge. Now, listen to him.

""Be careful, Rebecca.

Stay close to the forechamber, Rebecca.''

I'll go where I please.

I dare ya.

# Ring around the rosie

Pocket full of posies #

#Ashes, ashes

We all fall down ##

It's beautiful.

I've been here a million times.

Satan's Cathedral.

Well, I'll find a cavern you haven't been to,

and I'll name it myself!.

[ Whispering, Mimicking Becky ]

I'll name it myself.

- [ Muff] Come on, move it. Come on.

- [ Child ] I'm here.

- Stragglers, move on. That's it.

- [ Boy ] Good-bye, Muff.

Yeah.

[ Clears Throat ]

- Yeah, that's the last of'em.

- Looks like that about does it.

- [ Chuckles ]

- Here, I don't mind if I do.

I don't mind if you do, either.

[ Laughing ]

Excuse me,Judge.

I was wondering if you'd seen Tom.

He was with my Rebecca. They were chasing

each other around in the back of the cave.

I'm assuming they came out

with everybody else.

What is it, Sheriff?

What's wrong?

I was out makin' my rounds,

and I seen the tavern door open.

So I went on inside, and there he was,

lying there deader than a mackerel.

Emmett. Big ol' knife hole

in his back.

[ Sheriff] Ain't but one man

throw a knife like that.

Look at this one. This one's beautiful too.

I'll name this one.

We call it

Aladdin's Palace.

Hello!

[ Echoing ]

Hello.!

[ Tom ]

Hello.!

Hello?

Hello!

- Hello!

[ Echoing ]

- Stop, Becky, stop!

- Don't tell me what to do!

[ Echoing ]

Tell me what to do.

Becky!

[ Rocks Landsliding ]

[Judge ] Gentlemen, my daughter Rebecca

and Tom Sawyer are both lost in the caves.

And Injun Joe has come back

to take his revenge on Tom.

Now, be on your guard.

Injun Joe has already killed twice.

The sheriff and I believe that

he will not hesitate to kill again.

Judge? Judge.

Judge,

I'd like to help ya.

All right, Muff.

Let's go!

[ Shouting ]

This way.

What's this cavern

called, Tom?

I don't know.

[ Both Gasping ]

It's just rock.

- [ Muff]Judge.!

- [ Man ] Any luck?

Over here,Judge.

- What is it, Muff?

- There's been a cave-in.

There are other ways out.

Okay? N-Now--

[Judge ]

Becky!

I, I think we're gonna be

stuck here forever.

Don't worry, Becky.

I'm gonna get you outta here. I promise.

[ Rock Falling ]

Run, Becky, run!

- Hah!

- [ Becky Screams ]

[ Ripping Sound ]

This way! This way!

Through here.

Through here. Go! Go!

Hurry, hurry!

Go! Go!

[ Tom ]

Becky.! Go, go.

- [ Tom ] Hurry up.

- [ Becky ] Tom.!

[ Becky ]

Tom.!

Becky.

- [ Panting ]

- [ Tom ] I think we lost him.

[ Whimpering ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Tom ]

It's One-eyed Murrell.

He must've been hiding here

when the army came to get him.

Looks like he got lost

and slowly... died.

Come on.

Please be careful.

- This way, Becky.

- Not so loud, Tom. He'll hear us.

- [ Tom ] Number two under the cross.!

- What are you talking about?

Becky, look!

Go on.

I'm right behind you.

Tom, come on.

Find your father.

Bring him back.

- It's dangerous.

- Hurry!

[ Gasps ]

Looks like I got it all.!

The treasure... and you.!

[ Screams ]

Hey.!

I know you.

Huck?

You're Pap Finn's boy.

Blueberry!

Huckleberry.

Your daddy was the best knife fighter

on the Mississippi.

Did he teach you?

He taught me.

Ah.

Then let's see what you got, river trash.

[ Laughing ]

- I ain't river trash!

- Come on!

[ Grunts ]

You got guts, boy!

And in a minute,

they're gonna be on the ground.

Let's see you hit this!

No!

[ Screaming ]

So, why'd

you come back, Huck?

When a friend's in trouble,

you don't run away.

I guess Injun Joe

got his treasure.

No, no, he didn't.

The chest-- I couldn't lift it.

It was too heavy.

I had to dump out

all the coins.

[ Muff]

Here comes our hero.! There he is.!

Gimme your hand.

[ People Laughing, Cheering ]

It's all right.

Come on out.

- Bring 'em over here.

- [ Laughing ] You're a good boy!

Three cheers. Three cheers
