American writer Mark Twain wrote his novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" for an adult audience, but the main fans of the book were children. And this is not surprising, because the book is simply filled with adventures that every child dreams of.
Tom from St. Petersburg
In the middle of the 18th century, a boy named Tom lives in the small town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, in the house of his aunt Polly. The restless tomboy escapes from school to swim in Mississippi, for which he will be punished with work on the weekend.
Painting a fence when mocking friends are walking around is a very unpleasant experience for a proud boy of twelve. Sly Tom pretends to be happy and completely satisfied with his pastime. Now his friends envy him and ask him to give them this wonderful job in exchange for treasures.
The enterprising boy not only got rid of the punishment, but also became the owner of 12 alabaster balls, a cannon from a coil, a dog collar, a shard of blue glass and many other items of great value to children.
Love, piracy and funeral
The blue-eyed daughter of District Judge Becky Thacher has won the heart of young Mr. Sawyer so much that he takes her guilt for the torn book and bravely endures a beating from the teacher. A whirlpool of passions, a quarrel, jealousy and now Tom runs away from home. With two friends, the boy decides to organize a gang of pirates.
The boys live on the island, swim freely, fish and even learn to smoke. After a terrible thunderstorm, the children really want to return home, but then they find out that they were considered drowned and a memorial service will be held on Sunday. Not realizing all the cruelty of their behavior, they decide to go straight to their own funeral.
Bloody tragedy in the cemetery
Tom goes to the cemetery at midnight with the street child Huckleberry Finn in order to get rid of warts with the help of a dead cat and devils. There they witness a fight between a young doctor, Meff Potter and Indian Joe.
While Meff is unconscious, the Indian kills the doctor with his knife. Joe then convinces Potter's idiot that it was he who stabbed the doctor. The boys swear to each other to be silent about the events of this night, because the Indian is known for his vindictiveness.
Meanwhile, Potter is arrested, he faces the death penalty, because his knife was found in the cemetery. Joe testifies against his assistant. Tom and Huck visit Potter in prison, they are very ashamed and scared. During the trial, Tom does not stand the injustice and tells the truth.
The Indian escapes by jumping out the window, Potter is acquitted, and Tom becomes a hero. Newspapers write about him, but he cannot sleep peacefully, fearing reprisals from Joe.
Treasure and courage
Fired up with the idea of finding a treasure, inseparable friends go to an abandoned house. While the boys are exploring the attic, a hobo and Injun Joe find the treasure downstairs. The perpetrator returned to the city pretending to be a deaf-mute Spaniard to take revenge on the widow of his longtime enemy.
Huck overhears Joe's terrible plans and manages to raise the alarm. Rescued Mrs. Douglas out of gratitude adopts the boy.
The cave and the end of the "Indian devil"
Tom reconciles with Becky and invites her to a picnic. Children spend the day outdoors and explore the famous McDougal Cave. Running away from bats, Tom and Becky are lost in a huge maze.
Tom bravely supports the exhausted girl. Leaving Becky by the underground stream, the boy goes to look for a way out and stumbles upon Joe. Fortunately, the Indian did not recognize him and fled into the depths of the cave. Tom manages to get out of the cave and save Becky.
The inhabitants of the city decided to fill up the entrance to the cave. Injun Joe was walled up alive and starved to death there. Tom and Huck later find a secret hole in the cave and find a treasure with gold coins.
