Jim loves to gamble and will offer to bet on anything and everything, from horse races to dogfights, to the health of the local parson’s wife. When Jim catches a frog, whom he names Dan’l Webster, he offers to bet $40 to anyone in Calaveras County that can produce a frog that will out-jump Dan’l. Filled with scheming, silliness and Mark Twain’s traditional wit, this classic story reaffirms that most of life’s lessons can be taught with a laugh. Approximately one hour in length.
