The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Tom Sawyer doesn't like school much. Escaping from the schoolhouse, he's off to the woods to catch a wild pig with his friend Huck. Their attempts to sell the pig at the harbor end with a wild disturbance on the steamboat.

Tom is dismayed when Aunt Polly tells him he must spend his Saturday whitewashing the fence. Too long to paint in one day, Tom convinces his friends of the joys of the job, and soon has all the help he needs.

Tom goes to the harbor to meet his cousin Mary, and sees Becky Thacher for the first time. Her family moves into St. Petersburg, and Tom falls in love.

Tom tries to arouse Becky's interest at Sunday School, but is ignored. That night Old Sam shows him a special charm to make wishes come true.

Tom arrives at school late and finds that Becky is in his class. He finally manages to become friends with her, and promises to visit - forgetting another promise he has made to Huck.

Huck is offended that Tom forgot his promise. The next few days Tom works with Huck, telling Becky he is busy helping his sick aunt. Becky discovers his lie but her anger is replaced with surprise when she sees Huck's newly built tree house.
