It's more than sixty years since I read the book, and I couldn't tell you what happened in it a month later. I later discovered that this was one of the many things Mark Twain wrote to clear his bankruptcy. Even so, this programmer from Paramount shows their usual gloss, with Elisabeth Risdon, Clem Bevans, Clara Blandick, and Si Jenks making appearances. They don't lift it out of the B category, but they are fun to see in this unsubtle boy's adventure.
