All is well until Huck's drunken father Pap reappears and demands Huck's money. Miss Douglas tries to get legal custody of Huck, but the well-intentioned new judge in town believes that it is right for the father to take Huck even though he is a very drunk man. The efforts fail so Pap kidnaps Huck and keeps him locked in a cabin across the river in St. Petersburg. He constantly comes home drunk and always beats Huck, so one day Huck fakes his death to escape from his brutal father.

Afterward, Tom recovers from his wound, while Huck decides he is done with civilized society and makes plans to travel to the West.
