Young friends Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are once again causing mischief in 1840's Hannibal, Missouri. However, the boys run into even more trouble than they bargained for after they witness Injun Joe kill a man late one night.
Although the two friends take an oath of secrecy, Tom reveals the killer's identity to save an innocent man from being sent to prison. But Injun Joe avoids capture and goes after Huck, Tom and Tom's girlfriend, Becky Thatcher.
