"Tom Sawyer, who is not the model boy of the village."
00:36
"My! Look behind you, Aunt!"
00:50
"Hang the boy! Can't I never learn anything?"
00:59
"'Spare the rod and spile the child!' I ain't doin' my duty by that boy. I'm a-layin' up sin and sufferin' for us both!"
01:14

"Say, I can lick you!"
02:13
"I'd like to see you try it!"
02:33
"You think you're some now, don't you? . . . Oh, what a hat!"
02:47
"Say, if you give me any more of your sass, I'll take and bounce a rock off'n your head!"
03:13
"I dare you to step over that. Anybody that'll take a dare will steal sheep!"
03:48
"Holler 'nuff!"
04:00
"Holler 'nuff!"
04:06
"'Nuff!"
05:06
The enemy's mother
05:12
"You are a bad, vicious child! Go away at once!"
06:28
The next day is Saturday, and there is a song in every heart but Tom's
07:14
"I dasn't, Marse Tom. Ole missis, she'd t'ar de head off'n me. 'Deed she would!"
07:42
"If you will — I'll show you my sore toe!"
07:53
Jim is only human; this attraction is too much!
09:21
And — the free boys are going fishing —
09:44
— while Joe Harper pretends he is a Mississippi river steamboat
10:12
At this dark and hopeless moment, Tom has a great and magnificent inspiration!
10:41
"Hi-yi! You got to work, ain't you?"
10:52
"Do you mean to let on you like it?"
10:58
"Like it? I ought to like it! Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?"
11:16
"Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little?"
11:24
"Aunt Polly's awful particular about this fence. There ain't one boy in a thousand — maybe a hun'red thousand — can do it the way it's got to be done!"
11:40
"Lemme try! Say — I'll give you the core of my apple!"
11:54
"I'll give you all of it!"
12:13
— and Tom has discovered a great law of human nature; namely, in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make it difficult to attain!
13:14
"The fence is all done, aunt."
13:23
"Don't lie to me, Tom. I can't bear to hear it!"
14:21
"Tom, what you earn by honest effort and without sin has the best flavor."
15:04

Sunday dawns upon the peaceful village
17:38
But this day, too brings its trials
19:31
When Mary finishes with Tom, he is a man and a brother — and fully as uncomfortable as he looks!
20:40
Inspired by Becky's presence, Tom finds a use for this ill-gotten wealth
21:00
BIBLE PRIZE

The children begin to show off
23:49
The superintendent is also showing off
23:57
"Has any little boy or girl won a Bible prize this week?"
24:08
It's Tom's turn now to show off
25:03
Is it possible that the learned Judge is showing off, too?
25:15
"No doubt, you know the names of the twelve disciples. Tell us the names of the first two who were appointed."
25:45
"Answer the gentleman, Thomas."
26:05
"David and Goliath!"
26:17
Let us draw the curtain of charity over the rest of this scene!
26:26
"My — sore — toe's — mortified!"
26:46
"It seemed mortified. It hurt so I didn't mind my tooth at all!"
29:16
"Thomas Sawyer, why are you late?"
29:33
And the schoolmaster punishes bad boys by making them sit with the girls!
29:49
"I stopped — to — talk with Huckleberry Finn!"
30:11
"Now, sir, you may go and sit with the girls!"
31:23
KEEP IT
31:37
"I know your name. Its Thomas Sawyer."
31:45
"That's the name they lick me by. I'm Tom, when I'm good. You call me Tom, will you?"
32:28
I Love You
32:54
DONKEY
33:03
At noon, every one goes home to dinner — except Tom and Becky
33:32
"Say, Becky, how'd you like to be engaged?"
33:42
"I don't know. What's it like?"
33:47
"'Tain't like anything! You only — tell a boy you'll marry him; then you kiss, an' that's all. Anybody can do it!"
34:07
"Do you remember what I wrote on the slate?"
34:35
"I — love — you!"
34:54
"Being engaged's ever so gay! Why, when me and Amy Lawrence —"
35:29
His most cherished possession — a brass door-knob
36:03
Supper-time the same day
36:52
"Now, that pet model, Sid, is going to catch it!"
37:19
"Hold on! Whatcher belting me for? Sid broke it!"
37:27
"Well! I guess you didn't get a lick amiss!"
37:48
Far into the night, Tom broods over "man's inhumanity to man"!
38:01
If he should die, would SHE be sorry, or would she turn coldly away like all the hollow world?
38:49
And thus she should see him when she looked out upon the glad morning!
39:26
The next morning, Tom's mind is made up. He will lead a life of crime! They have driven him to it!
39:52
"Two souls with but a single thought —"
40:50
"We're goin' to be pirates, on a desert island, and start tonight!"
41:07
"Sure, we gotta have names! I'll be Tom Sawyer, The Black Avenger of the Spanish Main!"
41:23
"You'll be Huck Finn, The Red-Handed!"
41:33
"Your name is Joe Harper, The Terror of the Seas!"
42:01
That night — the great adventure!
42:23
"Hist! The countersign!"
42:34
"B-l-o-o-d!"
43:51
About 2 A. M.
44:46
"Who cares? It's bully to be a pirate! You don't have to go to school and wash, and all that blamed foolishness!"
45:09
The alarm
45:23
"Oh, Mis' Sawyer, my Joe wasn't home last night, and I'm that scairt!"
46:09
"Me an' my pardner saw the boys startin' down the river."
46:49
Catfish for breakfast — fresh from the Mississippi
47:53
"Why, it's just as easy! If I'd know'd this was all, I'd have learned long ago!"
48:16
"The boys must be drowned! We found the raft drifting five miles down the river!"
48:45
"Say, I wish the fellows could see us now!"
49:24
"I — I lost my knife. I'm going to find it!"
49:31
"I'll help you!"
50:08
Something seems to tell Huck that if they have had any trouble they have got rid of it!
50:44
Dear aunt Polly
dont you worry about
me No more
I Aint dead
I'm allrite
tom
51:05
If I dont come
back by sun-up
these things
are yours
52:04
Tom finds home almost as moist as the Mississippi
52:47
"As I was sayin', he warn't bad, so to say — only mischeevous!"
53:04
"The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away, but it's so hard! Only last Saturday my Joe busted a fire-cracker under my nose and I knocked him sprawling!"
53:28
"If the bodies ain't found, the funerals will be preached Sunday morning!"
54:30
With the rising sun —
55:03
"What does this writin' say, Joe?"
55:33
"— and when they get to preaching about us —"
55:47
Then came the day of the funerals
57:39
"Sing!"
57:54
"Please, Tom, won't you give me the brass door-knob?"
58:33
The End
