Tom Sawyer is a youthful, imaginative, and naughty boy who lives in a
Mississippi town with his aunt Polly and half-brother Sid. Tom falls in
love with Becky Thatcher, a young girl who recently moved to the area.
After a disagreement, Tom and his best buddy Huckleberry Finn head to
the village cemetery where they see the evil Injun Joe murdering Doctor
Robinson. When this is discovered, Injun Joe holds Muff Potter
accountable. Tom is obviously too young to handle this, and he is
reluctant to share what he knows. He chooses to become a pirate and set
up camp on an island in the river with Huck and their companion Joe
Harper.
