Koxtrok Presents:

An interpretation of Mark Twain's unfinished The Mysterious Stranger on a show for children. Also features Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, and Injun Joe.

A scene about this story also appears in the 1986 claymation film The Adventures of Mark Twain, where Satan gets Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn and Becky Thatcher to construct small clay people to bring to life and live in a small kingdom together before Satan destroys them through fighting, plagues and natural disasters, depicting the futility of mankind. The scene also quotes Satan's last line from the book. In this version, Satan appears playful and friendly when he constructs the small kingdom, slowly revealing himself as cruel and hateful as he destroys it. He appears as a robed noble, with a mask where his head would be. As his true nature is revealed, the mask changes from appearing kind to demonic, and finally to a grinning skull.
