Authorities then placed Huck with the kind widow Douglas, who taught him good manners and provided him with a stable life.

However, they accidentally pass Cairo, and Huck, conflicted over helping an enslaved person escape, briefly abandons Jim but ultimately apologizes, reuniting with him.

When they stop in a town, the Duke stages Shakespearean plays in local theaters, amusing crowds before escaping with their money.

In the next town, the King learns about the recent death of a preacher, Peter Wilks, whose daughters stand to inherit a fortune.

Eventually, Huck buys tickets to Cairo to finally part ways with the conmen, but the King sells Jim for drink money.
