Rating64%

As described in a film publication, Huckleberry Finn (Sargent) has been adopted by the Widow Douglas (K. Griffith) who plans to "civilize" him. With Tom Sawyer (G. Griffith) he forms a robber gang, and in a cave has the local boys take an oath to stick together. In his bedroom he runs into his no-account father (Lanning) who steals Huck's small change and later kidnaps Huck, taking him in a small boat down the river, while Tom and the gang wait for their leader to appear. Huck later escapes from a cabin where his father mistreated him, making it look as if he drowned while getting away in a canoe. Rumors of Huck's death spreads. Jim (Reed), the widow's slave boy, hears that he is to be sold and runs off, and joins Huck on a raft. Duke (Humphrey) and King (Bates), two broken-down actors fleeing a crowd they had fooled with a mock theatrical performance, join them. At the next town the actors again fool the people with a pretend theatrical performance with Huck acting as the doorkeeper. Further downstream the actors then impersonate the brothers of a deceased man named Wilks in an attempt to obtain the inheritance, but Huck takes the money to keep it from the actors after he is smitten by the daughter, Mary Jane Wilks (Ralston). Huck and Jim leave to escape the wrath of their former companions just as the actual relatives of the dead man show up. After peace is made when King and Duke rejoin the group, a shabby trick is performed when King sells Jim to a man named Phelps and then tells Huck that Jim has been lost. Upon learning the truth, Huck sets out to rescue his friend. He discovers that Mrs. Phelps (Moore) is the sister of Tom's Aunt Polly. Huck poses as the nephew Tom, whom Mrs. Phelps has never met. Then the real Tom arrives, who is surprised as he believed that Huck had died. After exchanging signals, Tom poses as his brother Sid and they go through with a plan. In a struggle to get Jim away, Tom is shot in the leg. Jim escapes, and while the two youngsters are congratulating themselves at Tom's sickbed, Aunt Polly arrives and says that Jim had been freed a month earlier. She informs the Phelps of Huck's actual identity and takes him back, cured of his wandering, to the Widow Douglas.

Roles Butler

As described in a film magazine, Joan Ludlow (Talmadge) is living with her grandparents, a grouchy old couple, when a young man, Martin Grey (Ford), moves next door. After the grandparents discover that they have been having secretly meetings for happy and harmless fun, Joan receives such a scolding that she goes over to Martin's and asks him to take her to her friend Alice Palgrave (Randolph), who lives in the city. Upon arrival at the Palgrave residence they discover Alice is not there, and Martin offers to marry Joan to resolve the situation. Pleased with the arrangement, Joan accepts, and after the ceremony they live in Martin's city residence, where he continues to respect her extreme innocence and maidenly existence. Martin spends time at the club while Joan is free to attend several wild parties and conducts what she supposes is an innocent flirtation with Alice's husband Gilbert (MacDonald). Toodles (Anderson), a chorus girl from the club, tempts Martin on his yacht, but he knows how to resist. However, when Joan discovers that Toodles is visiting her husband at the country home, she flirts harder with Gilbert Palgrave. Gilbert, who is suffering from a medical condition ("brain fever"), gets Joan alone one night in a seaside cottage, and threatens to shoot himself unless she consents to his desires. Martin arrives in time to save the day, with Joan discovering her love for Martin and Martin taking her back as his wife.
