As in Twain's story, Tom falls in love with Becky; Tom and Huck step in and save the accused after witnessing a murder; and, of course, they find that buried treasure. The young ones should like this toe-tapping, western-music filled with songs by Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings, and Lee Ann Womack.
