Au milieu du XIX siècle, au bord du Mississippi, le jeune Huckleberry Finn vit chez la veuve Douglas et sa sœur, Miss Watson. Il a du mal à se tenir comme un gentleman, préférant l'école buissonnière et marcher pieds nus. Une nuit, Pap Finn, le père de Huck, se rend chez M Douglas et lui demande 800 dollars pour qu'elle puisse garder son fils. Entendant cela, Huck décide de partir pour qu'elle n'ait pas à payer, mais il est rattrapé par son père qui l'enferme dans une cabane. Le garçon réussit à s'enfuir, et laisse des indices suggérant qu'il aurait été tué et jeté dans le fleuve. Il remonte le fleuve et, quelque temps après, rencontre son ami Jim, un esclave de M Douglas qui s'est enfui car elle avait prévu de le vendre pour avoir assez d'argent pour garder Huck. À leur insu, les indices laissés par Huck et la disparition de Jim font croire aux autorités que c'est Jim le coupable du meurtre. Jim essaye de gagner un État non esclavagiste et de rejoindre sa femme, et Huck décide de l'aider. Plus en amont ils rencontrent le "King" et le "Duke", qui ont été débarqués d'un bateau pour avoir escroqués des passagers.

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.
