Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster and Johnny Whitaker ("Family Affair") star in this musical adaptation of Mark Twain's classic tale. Orphan Tom Sawyer (Whitaker) and his scrappy pal Huck get into all kinds of mischief around town, and even though he shirks his responsibilities, Tom always manages to charm freckle-faced Becky (Foster) and his Aunt Polly (Celeste Holm). But when the boys witness a murder, Tom faces a life-and-death situation.
