Jeff East (Tom Sawyer) returns as the lovable scamp Huckleberry Finn while Paul Winfield shows considerable strength as Jim, the runaway slave who joins 15-year-old Huck for an unforgettable raft ride on the Mississippi River. Strong-willed and self-raised, Huck decides to flee his hometown of Hannibal, Missouri, when his cruel absentee father tries to kidnap him. Accompanying him is the sharp-witted Jim, who fears he is about to be sold. As this unlikely pair journeys north to freedom, the two develop a bond of friendship and mutual respect that will help them brave a series of narrow escapes, thrilling adventures and characters so colorful only Mark Twain could pen them!
