The story

A group of people are watching Halley's Comet overhead when Judge Clemens is called away for the birth of his son Samuel. The film proceeds to depict elements of many of Clemens' best-known stories as if they actually occurred. Thus, as he grows up, Sam plays with his friends Huck, Tom, and the slave boy Jim on a raft on the Mississippi River, providing a fictitious "real-life" basis for the novels Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
