Huck Finn is a homeless boy because he was abandoned by his father, who left the village for over a year. Although he lives in a barrel and the mother of his little friend Tom Sawyer does not want children to play with him, he is always surrounded by many friends. And it is during one of these games, while he is exploring a cave in search of "pirate treasure" that Huck discovers two robbers who had just looted the village.
