01:49Don't get me wrong, I think rain's just dandy in reasonable amounts, but the drops have been coming down so
01:55hard for so long, it sort of puts me in mind of Noah's Ark.
01:59It started raining the day that famous theatrical company left, and hasn't slacked off so much as a single day
02:05since.
02:06Mean weather is specially hard on my friend Huck Finn, him not having a proper home and all, besides which,
02:13he's about as mopey as a muskrat on account of Lisette leaving.
02:17I declare I never seen a boy suffer so from losing a girl he was sweet on.
02:28I feel even sorrier for him than I do for me, but I just don't see there's much I can
02:32do for him, so I figure he'll have to recover in his own good time.
02:36Sooner or later, I reckon things will get back to normal.
02:41Meanwhile, that flamed rain is making me so droopy I can hardly see straight.
02:46All the excitement of seeing Lisette and the play and the ruckus Huck started feels like a hundred years ago.
02:52Now I'm stuck with having to spend all my time with Sid, which is bad enough on a sunny day,
02:57but I'm trying to make the best of it.
03:01What are you reading now, little brother?
03:04Found anything I can find.
03:07Oh, well. If it don't let up soon, I'm gonna build an ark.
03:19Sid, I do believe I see it's starting to clear up. By golly, I think it is.
03:24No fooling?
03:27Reckon so. There is a little blue to the north.
03:31Good storming for ours, Tom.
03:34Maybe Huck will cheer up a little now.
03:37He's been feeling so low he could walk under a rattlesnake on stilts.
03:41Tom!
03:43Because of Lisette.
03:45Oh, how can you be so terribly unfeeling?
03:49Poor little Lisette.
03:54Yep, everybody wound up being sweet on Lisette.
03:57Especially Huck.
03:59Who could blame Huck?
04:01Lisette was about the prettiest thing I've ever seen.
04:05She had told us it was a pathetic story, and it sure enough lived up to its promise.
04:10Why not more than halfway through the first part of the show, everybody in the audience was ready to run
04:15up on stage and tar and feather that villainous archduke for being so rough with Lisette.
04:19And then there was little brother Sid, who thought he had died and gone to heaven whenever Lisette was around.
04:25But whatever Sid felt for Lisette, it couldn't hold a candle to what Huck had been feeling.
04:30He'd been plum swept off his feet.
04:54I can't keep going on like this.
04:56I can't keep going on like this.
05:01I can't keep going on like this.
05:03Okay, Huck, come on, pull yourself together.
05:05Okay, Huck, come on, pull yourself together.
05:19Where are you off to, Tom?
05:21Uh-oh.
05:23Tom, you'll drown if you go out there now.
05:25There ain't a drop in the sky, and the ground's almost dry.
05:33Well, bless me, it is clearing up.
05:35Tom?
05:36Tom, where are you?
05:38Tom just scooted out of the house, Mother.
05:41Where's he off to, do you reckon?
05:43To play, I imagine.
05:44I could skin him alive.
05:46Well, Mother, now what's got you so worked up?
05:49Mary, that boy pinched another loaf of bread and a whole rasher of bacon.
05:53My.
05:57Now, even I knowed my friend, Huck, I knowed he hadn't ate much of late, if anything at all.
06:02That was one thing I could help him out with.
06:06You see, in his present mood, Huck would have figured that scaring up food was more trouble than it was
06:11worth.
06:12Sometimes I worried he'd just waste away to nothing more than a stick.
06:16I reckon Aunt Polly would figure the vittles I took had gone for a good cause.
06:22It's time, Huck, are you up there? Come on out!
06:29Huck, howdy!
06:31What are you doing out on a day like this?
06:34I reckon you'd be a mite hungry.
06:37Mmm, mmm.
06:41That bread is fresh baked. Mary made it just this morning.
06:45Try some of the bacon, too.
06:49Yeah!
06:50Mmm.
06:54Thanks.
06:56Peers, I got here just in the nick of time.
06:58Mmm, oh boy.
07:00That there's the first real meal I've had since yesterday, Tom.
07:04What in the world you gonna do if it keeps on raining like this, Huck?
07:07If I had a mind to, I could always find a barrel to sleep in back at Mr. Rogers' store,
07:12but I'd just feel more at home here.
07:14Peers to me like you got one hard road to hoe, Huck.
07:16Oh, it ain't as bad as it might seem.
07:19And like I said, if worse comes to worse, I can always find a barrel to sleep in.
07:23But what if there ain't no barrel?
07:24I'd go up to the sawmill. The stable's warm, too. I'd find something.
07:29I wish I could invite you to come stay with me at Aunt Polly's.
07:34Mmm.
07:35I appreciate the thought, Tom.
07:37But you know your Aunt Polly and me don't get along.
07:40We're just two different breeds of cat, I reckon.
07:43It ain't that Aunt Polly don't like you, Huck.
07:45It's just that she's setting her ways about certain things.
07:47She thinks young'uns ought to live with their kin in a regular house.
07:51My Pap and me used to live together in a regular house, but I wasn't one bit happy then.
07:56Why, you couldn't pay me enough to live that way again.
07:59The way I live now is heaven compared to that.
08:02I'm much happier with my life now, even though I do have to go without a few meals and sleep
08:07under a leaky roof.
08:08Your Papi must have been powerful stirring with you to make you feel that way.
08:12What was he like? How come he didn't send you to school?
08:15Did you have any friends? How was it living with him?
08:19Pa never was a believer in work.
08:22He always wanted me to do everything for him.
08:25After my momma passed away, it was like it just sort of busted his mainspring.
08:30He just stayed drunk all the time.
08:36I got good and tired of getting whooped, so one night while he was drunk I upped and ran away.
08:43Do you have any idea where he is now?
08:46Well, let me see. The last I heard about Pap, I believe somebody saw him upriver a piece in Quincy.
08:53He was drunk and mean as ever.
08:55Quincy, that's only a few miles from here.
08:59Well, that was some time ago. I doubt if he's still hanging around the same place as these days.
09:04Hey, hanged if I know why we're even talking about my Pa, Tom.
09:08I'd really rather not stir up all that stuff again.
09:19Hey now, I wish you'd look at this, Huck.
09:24Here's the weather's clearing up at last.
09:27Why, I bet things will dry out in no time.
09:30And not a lick too soon for my taste.
09:33So, what do you feel like doing now, Huck?
09:36Well, we could do some treasure hunting.
09:38When?
09:39Right now, we could see what the rain's washed up alongside the riverbank.
09:43Yeah?
09:43Yeah.
09:45Every time we have a downpour like this one, all manner of stuff gets washed up on the riverbank.
09:50Why, I couldn't begin to tell you the stuff I found there.
09:53Can't think of nobody I'd rather go hunting with than you.
09:56Same here, Tom.
09:59To show you how ornery the river could be, years ago, folks here fished out a fellow by the name
10:04of Mafe Lodgett.
10:05And when they searched his houseboat, they found all manner of goods.
10:08A sack of beans, two pistols, six dresses, most of a keg of kerosene, and a piece of paper stuck
10:15in the back of Mafe's Bible
10:17with a note about a bag of gold he had hidden away.
10:20Did folks figure he'd stole it?
10:21Mm-hmm. Sure did.
10:24If nobody ever found that there gold, it might still be in the river.
10:28And if nobody has ever claimed it yet, just think. We'd be as entitled to it as anyone.
10:33That would sure take a heap of hunting, Tom.
10:36I'd be willing to hunt all day for a bag of real gold.
10:39That's the way it is with pirates, you know. They never give up till they find the treasure they're after.
10:43Well, come on. Let's do it.
10:45Lead on, first mate Ben.
10:50Here I come.
10:52Hey, not too steady there, are you?
10:54That's all you know.
10:56Turned out Mafe Lodgett had stole the gold from a bunch of Indians that had burned out his home.
11:01Wild Indians?
11:02Mm-hmm. But he got back at them by stealing their gold.
11:05You see, he figured they owed him that much after burning down his house and everything.
11:09Didn't they light out after him?
11:11You just bet they did.
11:13Well, how come he didn't just lamb out cross-country into the woods?
11:17On account of old Mafe was a river man, had all his gear on his houseboat.
11:21Some people just belonged to the river, Pa used to say.
11:24And old Mafe was just one of them folks.
11:27Couldn't he move his houseboat down river a little?
11:30Well, he tried.
11:31What happened?
11:32All they found was the wreckage.
11:34And as for Mafe, they found his body with a knife in his back.
11:40Nobody knows to this day who done him in.
11:43I'm glad I didn't find that body.
11:46You bet.
11:48I wouldn't want to find it either.
11:49Still in all, pirates ain't scared of dead bodies.
11:52Well, I reckon you might find one or two who would be.
11:57Hey!
11:58So, what's the matter?
12:00What if somebody else had the same idea about the treasure hunt?
12:03Uh-oh.
12:05We better hop to it.
12:07Mm-hmm.
12:09So the two of us slid out for the river.
12:12Tom Sawyer, the Black Avenger of the Spanish Main, and Huck Finn, the Red-Handed,
12:16figured to beat everybody else to that sack of gold if it was there.
12:20With the miserable rain already forgotten, it was turning into a perfect summer day
12:25with Adventure on the High Seas right around the next bend.
12:33There's sure a gang of stuff piled up in that log jam there, Tom.
12:37Yes, there's some rooting around in there ought to turn up a few wonders, I betcha.
12:41It appears to me the quickest way to get to the river bank is down this here slope.
12:45You'll break your neck. Go this way, Tom.
12:47Can't, Huck. I'm already sailing.
12:50All right, but don't say I didn't warn you.
12:53Easy now. Them rocks is slicker than lard on a hot skillet.
12:58I'm going around the long way, Tom.
13:01I'll catch up with you at the bottom.
13:03Okay, but hurry up.
13:29Now, let's find us some treasure.
13:55Tom?
13:58Yoo-hoo, have you found anything yet?
14:00Nothing worth mentioning.
14:03Go all the way down to the back.
14:05Well, ain't you coming down, huh?
14:14Nothing but trash so far.
14:24Huh?
14:25Oh, no! It's a... it's a...
14:28Huh?
14:29It is!
14:34Whoa!
14:36Whoa!
14:39Huh?
14:42Hmm...
14:43Oh!
14:46Oh!
14:49Huh!
14:50It's awful!
14:51What happened?
14:52Wait a minute!
14:57I can't talk yet!
15:00I can't believe it!
15:02What's in there, anyway?
15:04Rattlesnake?
15:05No!
15:09Well, what in the world was it then?
15:10I felt a... it's a...
15:12Try it again!
15:14A dead body floating in the water!
15:19Dead body? You mean a human one?
15:21Yes!
15:22Wait here, Tom!
15:24I'm gonna get Sheriff Collins!
15:26I ain't staying here alone with that thing, Huck!
15:29Come on, then!
15:30Wait up!
15:31Huck!
15:31You gotta help me!
15:32I can't make it on my own!
15:34My legs won't hold me up!
15:35Don't take on so, Tom!
15:37Alright!
15:38Hang on!
15:39I'm coming!
15:40Easy!
15:42Oh, Huck!
15:43That thing scared the liver out of me!
15:50And the body's about half a mile above Wilson's Bluff, hmm?
15:53Yes, sir!
15:54I wanna thank you boys for coming in here to tell me about it!
15:58Do you want us to take you there?
16:00Well, Tom, that won't be needful.
16:02I am familiar with Wilson's Bluff,
16:04so I reckon we can fetch it up in short order.
16:08Do you reckon somebody killed him?
16:10Do you boys see anything to make you think so?
16:13Um, no, sir.
16:14But I didn't get close enough to really tell.
16:16Hmm.
16:17I ain't surprised.
16:19Well, you boys can run along.
16:22Hitch up the wagon, Patrick, and let's get on up there.
16:25Yep.
16:26And bring a hunk of canvas.
16:28Yes, sir, Sheriff.
16:32Dadgummit, first drowning so far this year.
16:38Sheriff Collins?
16:40What is it, Tom?
16:41Something pressing on your mind there, young feller?
16:46Something else just occurred to me that I reckon I ought to tell you about, Sheriff.
16:50All right.
16:51Let's have it, son.
16:53Well, I only got a quick glance at that body, but, uh...
16:56Yes?
16:57Well, it seemed to me he looked a mite familiar.
16:59Who might it be?
17:01I mean, I didn't really want to talk about it in front of Huck, but it might be his pa.
17:07You sure you'd know old Finn if you saw him?
17:10I think I would, Sheriff.
17:12How about Huck?
17:13Does he reckon that body was his pa?
17:14No, sir.
17:15Huck didn't even see it.
17:16Where is your friend Huckleberry now?
17:18Waiting for me.
17:20Outside.
17:21Well, now, that being the state of things, stay right here while we fetch that corpse.
17:25All right?
17:27Yes, sir.
17:28But as I said before, I only had a glimpse, so I ain't really positive it's him.
17:32On the other hand, it just might be.
17:34Yep, I see.
17:35I'll have some other folks take a look at it, too.
17:37Go ask Huck to come in here, would you?
17:39Mm-hmm.
17:44Huckleberry, come here.
17:46What is it?
17:46Sheriff Collins wants us to hang around here until he gets back.
17:51Who found the body?
17:52I hear it was a son of a rat.
17:54Tom?
17:55Oh, how odd.
17:56The sheriff said it was old man Finn.
17:58Who you reckon it is?
18:00They say it's old man Finn.
18:01You don't see.
18:02The old coot's finally gone to his reward then.
18:05Dear, dear.
18:09Huckleberry, a bunch of folks looked at the bodies.
18:11Some said it was your pap, others said it weren't.
18:13What?
18:14My pa?
18:15What in tarnation are you talking about, Sheriff?
18:18Nobody knows for sure.
18:19Thought Tom might have told you it might be your pa.
18:23Sorry to be breaking it to you this way, Huck.
18:26That fella was in the water for so long we couldn't make out his features for certain.
18:33I was mighty popular that afternoon cause everybody in town wanted to hear about me and Huck's adventure.
18:38There was a lot of disagreement about whether it was old man Finn or not.
18:43By nightfall though, I started worrying that whoever it was might come back to haunt me since I was the
18:48one that found the body.
18:53Somehow Huck figured out that it was his pa that I'd found.
18:57Huck paid his last respects as best he could.
18:59He forgave his pa for all the bad he'd done and asked his pa to forgive him for all the
19:04bad he'd done.
19:05Somehow it all seemed to leave Huck feeling a lot more peaceful, not having to wonder and worry about his
19:11pa no more.
19:13Once the body was buried, life got pretty much back to normal in St. Peter.
19:17It's hard to believe Huck's all alone in the world now, isn't it, Tom?
19:21But I'm surprised he didn't grieve a lot more.
19:23Well, Becky, you gotta remember Huck's family life weren't nothing like what you and I've been accustomed to.
19:30I think your family is your family no matter what, and you grieve when you lose a love for him.
19:35I reckon Huck is grieving in his own way. He's just got a real relaxed way of going about it.
19:41Hey, here comes the old city of Cairo.
19:53I'd like to travel to different places when I grow up, I think.
19:56Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna be the captain of a steamboat. I'm gonna sail all around the
20:02world and back again.
20:04Oh? Hmm. And will you write me lots of letters?
20:08Sure I will.
20:11Sure I will.
20:38What?
20:55Oh no!
20:59Do you know that man, Tom?
21:02It must be a ghost, or else it's Huck's father.
21:04Mercy me.
21:10I know you, don't I?
21:12I'm Ember now.
21:14You're that rapscallion friend of my good-for-nothing boy.
21:18We'll hate you.
21:21Hey, you come back here.
21:24Help!
21:27I'm going to find him yet.
21:36Hawk, are you home?
21:38Wake up, Hawk!
21:39Huh?
21:40Hawk!
21:42You won't believe it!
21:44I've seen him, Hawk!
21:45I'm sleeping. Quiet.
21:47Your pa's alive and he's back in town!
21:50What?
21:51Oh, no!
21:53You mean it?
22:08I'll do, Sheriff.
22:10Say, you seen my boy, Hawk, around here late?
22:13I ain't laid eyes on that little rascal since he was...
22:16Oh, Finn?
22:17Well, I'll be.
22:20What in the nation's going on here, Sheriff?
22:22You folks seen a ghost or something?
22:24It's just old Finn looking for my Hawk.
22:30No!
22:33No!
22:36Meow!
22:43Where are you, Hawk?
22:45I'm coming.
22:46Howdy, Tom.
22:49Where are you hiding out these days, Hawk?
22:52Out of the old Lyman house, seeing nobody's living there anymore.
22:55You'll never think of looking there.
22:58Where's Pa now?
22:59He's still stomping around town looking for you.
23:02What do you reckon he's got in mind for me, Tom?
23:04Well, from what I hear, he's been talking about taking you back up River to Quincy to make you go
23:08to work for him.
23:09That's Pa right enough.
23:11Least we know where he is.
23:12And we know where he ain't.
23:14Tom, my stomach is a ball of knots again.
23:17Meow!
23:19Huck scooted back to the Lyman place on the hill and laid low.
23:23I doubt his Pa could have found him with the help of a divining rod.
23:26But I sure enough had to give that crazy old feller credit for trying.
23:30He scoured all over St. Pete.
23:34A few days later, old man Finn just up and vanished as sudden and mysterious as he'd appeared.
23:39Never did know for sure where he'd come from, nor where he went to.
23:43Anyhow, Huck could breathe easy again.
23:46After a while, I got to wondering, since that weren't Huck's Pa whose body I found,
23:52who in the world was that poor soul arresting in his grave?
23:56I wonder if we'll ever find out.
