(playful music)

- [Tom] Becky and me had set out to explore

in McDougal's cave while the others were still picnickin'.

I didn't intend it but unfortunately, we went

and got ourselves lost.

Well, I reckon it was my fault.

That weren't the worst part though.

Ya see, Indian Joe was in there with us

and if he found us snoopin' around,

there weren't no tellin' what he might do.

(ominous music)

Lord, I ain't askin' too much, just send him away.

- [Indian Joe] Somebody there?

- Thanks a lot, I owe you one.

Whew.

(Indian Joe clearing throat)

What's goin' on?

Sounds like he's diggin' something up.

Hmm...

I should see what he's up to.

Nah, I gotta get back to Becky.

On the other hand, I guess a quick look couldn't hurt none.

- [Indian Joe] Gotta get outta here.

Sheriff's gettin' too close.

(grunting)

(rocks crackling)

(ominous music)

Who's there?

(whimpering)

- Tom?

Tom, is that you?

Where are you?

Tom, answer me!

- Shh, quiet!

- Don't shush me, is that the way out or not?

- No, we ain't goin' that way.

- Why not?

- Don't ask, we just ain't, that's all.

- We're still lost?

- Yeah but don't worry.

I'll get us out.

Let's go this way.

- I thought you said this was the way out.

You sure you know what you're doing?

We already went this way once.

- I know we did but we can't go the other way

and don't ask me why.

You're just gonna have to trust me, Becky.

(grunting)

- Tom Sawyer, I heard you out here.

Show yourself.

So, that's the kinda game we're gonna play.

Hide from Indian Joe, huh?

Well, we'll just see how good you are at playin' it.

Huh?

Let's play your little game.

But you gotta remember, since I've been playing

the hiding game so much longer than you have,

we're playing by my rules this time Tom.

(evil laughing)

I'll just come back later for my gold.

Hey wait, if that kid's been snoopin' around

in this cave all that time,

he just might know where that gold is hidden.

- I won't, I say!

Tom's in that cave!

Now, get outta the way!

- Mama, stay calm.

- Now madam, please.

The Sheriff left strict orders not to allow

anyone else into the cave.

It's too dangerous.

Now please, step back!

- No sir, I told you that I ain't gonna

just standby while my Tom's stranded in that there cave.

Now you move outta the way before I get angry boy.

- You can't go in, mother.

- No ma'am. (grunting)

- It seems like you're going around in circles.

- No we aren't Becky.

- Yes we are!

- It just seems like that.

- Why don't we just wait here until someone comes for us?

- No, keep movin'.

- [Man] Tom!

(gasping)

- Listen Tom, someone's calling.

- Yeah!

- Listen.

- [Man] Becky!

- See?

- It ain't real loud but I hear it.

Which direction do ya think it came from?

- There!

Sounds like it's coming from over there in that corner.

Let's go back the way we came.

- No, we better not try and go back that way.

We'll keep on this way.

- Tom!

Becky!

- Judge Thatcher, you and the others search for them

in that section.

I'll go on ahead this way.

- Right Sheriff.

We'll meet back here later on.

- I didn't wanna tell Becky I'd seen Indian Joe down there.

I figured the less she knew, the better off she'd be.

- Hey Tom, are you positive

we're going the right way?

- I know we are.

If we just follow the stream, it's bound to lead us out.

- [Sheriff] Becky!

- Hey listen, I can hear the Sheriff callin' us.

- I don't hear anything at all.

- Come on.

- All right.

(water rushing)

- [Sheriff] Becky, Tom,

answer me, where are ya?

- I'm runnin' outta time.

Sheriff Collins is right behind me.

He's closer to finding me than I thought.

I'd better hurry up and find those kids.

- [Man] Becky, where are ya girl?

Please answer me.

- Sounds like the whole town's

come after those kids.

- [Man] Becky, come on please, where are ya?

Becky, Tom!

- It's Sheriff Collins, Tom!

(mysterious music)

Let's try up a little farther.

- [Becky] We're over here Sheriff!

- Did you hear that, Sheriff?

- Shh, keep quiet Pat so we can hear

where it's coming from.

- Mmhmm.

- Hello Tom, answer back if you can hear.

Tom, Becky,

are you all right?

- [Tom] Sheriff Collins, we're over here by the stream.

We can't find our way back.

- That stream's not too far Sheriff,

just up ahead a little way.

- Right, I've been there.

You two wait there.

I'm comin' to get ya, alright?

Pat, you go round up the others and wait

by the entrance.

I won't take no chances of anybody else gettin'

lost in here.

- Right, whatever you say Sheriff.

Sheriff Collins?

- Yeah, what is it?

- Maybe you should take the rifle, just in case.

- My pistol'll do just fine.

You just keep everyone outta the cave.

I'll be right back.

- I will.

Now you be careful Sheriff.

(ominous music)

- [Sheriff] Tom, call out so I can track your voice.

(ominous music)

- [Tom] Okay Sheriff, we're right here!

Can ya hear me?

- [Sheriff] Yes Tom.

Don't move from that spot, alright?

I'll come to you.

Is Becky alright?

- Yeah, she's alright.

- Mmhmm.

(playful music)

- Hey, what are you doin'?

I thought I told you to stay put.

- [Tom] We haven't moved.

We're still right here.

Be careful Sheriff.

Indian Joe's around here somewhere.

- Alright Tom, you just stay there.

- I didn't tell ya about Indian Joe

'cause I didn't wanna scare ya.

- I wouldn't have been afraid.

Not with you here.

- Well, I told ya not to worry - Tom.

- about anything Becky or were you just sayin' that

to make me feel good? (giggling)

- Tom, now admit it.

Weren't you just a little bit scared

yourself when you found out that Indian Joe was here?

- No, I wasn't.

Did I look scared?

- No, but you seem to be nervous.

You kept leading us farther and farther away from him

all the time.

It's alright Tom, you can admit it now.

- You won't blab on me, will ya?

- (giggles) I'll tell 'em you're my hero.

We're still here Sheriff, can you hear me?

Hey Tom, look!

There's the Sheriff's light!

- We'll be gettin' outta here in no time now.

- Sheriff Collins, here we are!

Over here, over here!

(slow footprints)

I'm glad you're here 'cause we were getting

really tired of waiting.

- That ain't the Sheriff.

- Hmm?

- [Tom] That's Indian Joe.

(gasping)

Quiet.

- I'm scared.

(evil laughing)

- Don't worry, the Sheriff's coming.

We're alright.

I'll take care of ya.

(ominous music)

- What are you two playing down here for?

It's dangerous to play down here in this cave.

You could fall into a crevice and no one would ever

find you down here.

That'd be a terrible thing if you had an accident

like that, now wouldn't it?

(gasping)

- Ya aren't gonna faint, are ya?

- She's alright, Tom.

All girls have fainting spells now and then.

- It's your fault!

You made her faint 'cause you scared her.

Go away!

- But I got nowhere to go, Tom.

- [Tom] Let us go, we won't talk.

- So that's the reason you're so scared of me.

You thought I wanted to shut you up.

(laughing)

What kinda monster do you think I am?

I never hurt a woman or a child in my life.

Fact is, I never wanted to hurt anybody.

Just certain folks got in my way, that's all.

- [Sheriff] Tom, Becky!

Call out Tom, I still can't find ya.

- Sounds like the Sheriff will be gettin' here

real soon now.

Listen to me boy, I want you to help me.

I reckon you owe me something for all the trouble

you've been.

- What?

What do you want me to do?

- It's easy.

When the Sheriff gets here,

you just say you never saw me.

You made a mistake.

- Hold it right there.

- [Indian Joe] Howdy Sheriff.

(intense music)

- [Sheriff] I'm takin' you in Joe.

- [Joe] I reckon not.

- Don't move Joe.

I'm warning you.

I'll shoot you in the back if you force me to.

(evil laughing)

- That right, Sheriff Collins?

You gonna shoot me down if I don't surrender?

Would you really take the chance of shootin' me in here

with the kids so close?

- That's right.

- Hmm...

Alright Collins, I'll play your little game.

Step up into the light where I can see ya.

- Whatever you say, Joe.

(ominous music)

I'm not getting caught into any of your tricks.

Now get your hands out there where I can see 'em.

(grunting)

- [Joe] You'll never take me.

(gunshots)

- You can't escape, give up!

(ominous music)

- [Joe] I'm not gonna rot in no jail.

You'll never take me alive (screaming).

- I'd like to think that Sheriff Collins

wouldn't have shot Indian Joe in the back

like he said but we'll never know

'cause Joe slipped and fell down one of them

crevices before the Sheriff caught him.

I couldn't help feeling a little sorry for Indian Joe.

I know he was evil.

It's just that it seemed like nobody was ever willing

to give him much of a chance to be anything else.

- Oh dear, young Becky's been hurt.

- We shouldn't jump to conclusions, Mother.

You don't know that for sure.

- Becky (gasp)!

Oh goodness.

- Hello mother.

- She's hurt.

- She's alright, she just fainted.

I'm gonna take her home.

- There mother, Tom looks alright.

- Thomas!

What do you mean by causing all this trouble?

- Mother.

- You know better than to play in there!

- Tom, are you alright?

- Mmhmm.

- Boy, you had me scared half to death.

- I'm sorry.

- The worst part is you could've been killed in there, Tom.

- I wasn't in no actual danger, Aunt Polly,

really I wasn't.

- Well, that's no excuse.

You're not gonna get out of it that easy, Tom Sawyer.

- Mother, not here.

- Folks, I have some good news for everyone.

No harm came to those kids.

(applauding)

There's something else that ya ought to know though.

I saw Indian Joe in the cave.

I ordered him to surrender but he didn't pay me no mind

and I'm afraid he fell to his death in one of those

crevices when he tried to escape.

It was a terrible tragedy but I suppose he

got what was comin' to him.

(cheering and applause)

- It just didn't seem right somehow,

cheering because a man had died.

(playful humming)

- [Sid] Hey there Huck.

- Hi, where's Tom at, Sid?

Is he still gettin' punished?

- I reckon not since Aunt Polly let him go over

to see Becky and he got all dressed up for it too.

That doesn't make any sense.

- Some things ain't supposed to.

(slurping)

I reckon you'll learn that when you're older.

- That's what Tom always says.

- I told ya.

- Huh, I'm plenty old enough.

- Well Sid, you'll never get as old as we are.

(laughing)

- Hmm?

That doesn't make sense!

- Goodbye Becky.

Goodbye Mrs. Thatcher.

(clears throat) Hey Caesar, how are ya?

I can't play with you today 'cause I got my

Sunday clothes on.

Good boy.

Stay.

(growling)

(barking) Leave me alone, Caesar!

Stay!

- Howdy Tom.

- Hi Huck!

Oh, Caesar, leave me alone will ya?

Stay.

(wind blowing)

- Well, ya best let it go Tom.

It's sure over and done with now.

- I know, but that still don't make it right Huck.

- Ya know, you're right lucky it weren't

you or Becky that fell into that crevice.

- It ain't so much the fact that Indian Joe

was done in, it was the way everybody was cheering about it.

That made me feel awful.

It just didn't seem right somehow.

- I reckon folks can be downright cruel like that,

but there is one good thing about Indian Joe's passin'.

- What are you talking about Huck?

- The gold.

- [Tom] Huh? What gold?

- The gold coins from the haunted house.

Don't you remember?

Indian Joe and that Gill fella

took it all to hide in the cave somewhere.

- Oh yeah, you figure that's where Joe hid it then?

- Why else would he be there?

You even told me that you caught him diggin'

something up.

That cave's just gotta be where the gold coins are buried.

- That could be, but Aunt Polly told me

that if I went into that cave again

not to bother comin' back home.

- Your old Aunt Polly doesn't have to know

anything about going in the cave.

We should keep the whole thing mum.

Besides, it ain't like you to be a feared.

- No sir, I'm not.

Hey!

(groaning)

- Feel better?

- We'll need some tools for digging,

so I'll get 'em from my house.

I need to go and change my clothes anyway.

- Sounds good to me.

- We'll need something to put the gold in also.

- Like a sack?

I know some place we can get a boat too.

- Meet ya at the river?

- You bet!

- [Tom] Now it ain't like I intentionally set out

to go contrary to Aunt Polly's wishes, ya understand.

It's just that this was one of those opportunities

that can't be passed by so easy.

Besides, if Huck and me find that gold,

we're gonna be rich.

Then I reckon it won't matter none to Aunt Polly

where it came from.

(mysterious music)

This is the way the Sheriff brought us out,

but I can't remember which was to go from here.

- Don't worry, we'll find it.

- Watch your head in here and stay close to the wall.

(water rushing)

- [Huck] It sure is scary.

- [Tom] I don't know Huck, this don't look familiar at all.

- Hmm.

I think maybe we better go back.

(bats squealing)

(screaming)

- Watch it.

This way!

Oh boy, that sure was a close one.

- Yeah, I hate bats.

- Let's rest here, okay?

- We can't stop now Tom.

- Well we gotta stop and figure where we're going

or else we're bound to get ourselves lost.

- I reckon so.

Hey, we could split up.

- No, I ain't about to go on all by myself.

Why don't you burn an X up there on the wall

with your candle.

That way, we'll know we already been here

in case we come back.

- Good idea Tom.

- Sheriff Collins told me to do that

in case I ever got lost.

He said that's what folks do when they're

exploring caves so they don't walk around in circles

trying to find a way out of it.

- That makes sense.

Maybe Indian Joe burned an X too

so he wouldn't get lost when he came back to find the gold.

- Yeah!

I remember now, there was an X.

Come on, this way.

(mysterious music)

I'm almost positive this is where I saw him that time.

- I don't see no X's burned nowhere.

- Sure!

Come on, I'll show ya.

It's just down here a ways.

- Well, let's go.

- This is where I saw him, I'm sure of it.

Up there around the corner.

That's where I seen him diggin' something up.

- Are you sure this is the place, Tom?

- Mmhmm.

Positive.

- Don't stand there, let's go!

- You go ahead and start digging.

I'll stand guard.

- What do you mean stand guard?

There ain't nobody here but us.

- I know that Huck, but I kinda got this strange feeling,

sorta like Indian Joe's still down here watchin' us.

- How in tarnation could Indian Joe be down here

when the Sheriff said he got him?

- Well it ain't like he's down here in the flesh or nothin',

it's more like a feeling, ya know,

like his ghost might be down here or something.

- But you don't believe in no ghost.

- I never thought I did until now,

but it gives me the creeps knowing a dead man

made that mark on the wall.

- (screaming) Run Tom!

- What?

There ain't nothin' to be scared of.

It's just a cross.

- I wasn't scared a bit.

Hmm...

I reckon this is the place.

Maybe we ought to start digging some around here.

Hey, someone else has been digging here

and not too long ago Tom.

See how this part

looks dug up? - Yeah.

- It's packed real tight.

- I'll loosen it up.

- Hmm, you know what?

I think everyone was mistaken about the reason

why Indian Joe was hidin' out in here.

He fooled 'em all.

Everybody thought he was after me and Becky

but he really wasn't.

Nope, he wanted the gold so he could get away.

- Yeah.

- I wonder how long he had that gold hidden here.

And I wonder what he'd do if he knew

we was diggin' it up.

- Did you hear that?

That weren't dirt.

I think we found it.

(grunting)

- [Both] Aha!

- [Tom] There it is!

- [Both] Hey!

- What do ya know?

- What are we waitin' for? - Come on!

- Come on!

- [Tom] We're rich!

Wow!

(upbeat music)

- [Both] Woah!

- Wow.

- [Tom] This must be Spanish gold.

- We did it.

Tom, it's the most beautiful sight I ever saw.

- It's ours!

Huck, this money is all ours.

(laughing)

- Yippy! - Yay!

- You can live on a giant ranch now!

- And you can live on your very own steamboat.

- [Both] Yay!

(cheery music)

- All clear Huck, hurry up.

- I am hurrying, I'd like to see you go any faster.

- Here.

- No, I got it.

- Huck, I will give ya a hand

if ya want me to, ya know?

(grunting)

- Wait!

I'll help ya.

- [Tom] Me and Huck was millionaires now.

Only thing is, I never figured rich folks

had to work this hard.
