"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a 1955 CBS TV film adaptation of Mark Twain's 1884 novel of the same name, starring Charles Taylor in the title role.
Just as they discover a chest full of gold, Injun Joe leaps out of the shadows, attempting to kill them, but he falls into a watery pit.
But instead, Huck ends up adopted by the Widow Douglas, who conspires with Tom's Aunt Polly to turn the newly wealthy boys into proper gentlemen.
Using a raft Tom has provided, Huck makes a getaway and soon encounters a pair of con men—the Duke and the Dauphin—on the run from the law.
Huck realizes they are planning to travel to the Wilkes homestead and trick Mary Jane into giving them her late father's fortune by pretending to be her uncles.
Huck slips away from the pair, hoping to beat them to the estate and warn Mary Jane, but his father suddenly appears and chains him up in an abandoned steamship.
