Opening Narration
|
Huck: |
I'm
Huck Finn. It all started out in our graveyard in Hannibal,
Missouri when Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher and me were on our
way home |
|
Becky: |
I
don't see why we had to come this way? |
|
Tom: |
'Cause it's a short cut, Becky. See that old head stone,
Becky. That's where me and Huck saw Injun' Joe kill Doctor
Robinson. |
|
Becky: |
Oh, I
'm not staying in this awful place another second. |
|
Huck: |
It's
Injun' Joe! |
|
Tom: |
When
Injun' Joe escaped from jail, folks said he'd gone down river,
but here he was big as life and out to get Tom and me for
testifying against him in court |
|
Injun' Joe: |
I'll
find you! |
|
Huck: |
I
thought Tom and me knew this cave but we got all mixed up. |
|
Tom: |
This
way! |
|
Huck: |
No,
that way! |
|
Injun' Joe: |
Trying to get away from me, huh!. I'll find you! No matter
where you go! |
|
Huck: |
And I
had a funny feeling that he was right. That we'd see him
again. |
When Huck, Tom and Becky entered a cave to elude Injun Joe they
inadvertently discovered a mysterious portal that took them to strange
animated worlds filled with
pirates, leprechauns, evil castles, the Land of La Mancha, enchanted
valleys, a Gorgon creature, Hercules, Conquistadors, and the sunken
city of
Atlantis.
Will they ever find their way home is anyone's guess, but for now
they must keep one step ahead of the vengeful Injun Joe who has
vowed ""I'll find you! No matter where you go, I'll find you!"
