Take a madcap trip to the quaint village of Hadleyburg. The citizens are a bit wacky, but they're also the most honest people in the state ... perhaps in the entire country. That is, until a stranger comes to town with a trick, and a racoon up his sleeve. This crazed classic is based on a short story by one of America's most beloved writers, Mark Twain. You'll be charmed by every hilarious moment of this light-hearted look at the forces of greed."@en

  • "Summary: Mark Twain's short story focuses on the upright citizens of an ordinary small town, whose self-righteous reputation for honesty and incorruptibility is about to be put to the test. Robert Preston plays the stranger who throws Hadleyburg into a turmoil when he arrives with a bag of gold, supposedly to repay a kindness that was performed many years ago. As there is some doubt as to who his benefactor was, various people see an opportunity to enrich themselves. As a matter of fact, the whole thing is a carefully conceived plan to punish the community for a past injustice, with a graceful twist in the ending whereby an equally guilty citizen is spared public humiliation because of an unrelated act of kindness that was performed without any thought of reward. The film is introduced by actor Henry Fonda."
