Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- Huck quickly realizes that the two men are liars, but to prevent "quarrels," he does not tell them. The older man reveals his identity as the dauphin, the long lost son of Louis XVI of France.
- Huck makes up a story about how he was orphaned and tells them that he and Jim have been forced to travel at night. The duke and the dauphin offer a reward for Jim's capture, which will allow them to travel freely day and tell anyone who inquires that Jim is their captive.
- In Shakespeare's Hamlet, the duke and dauphin practice lines from Romeo and Juliet and the swordfight from Richard III. Huck gives a detailed, absurd description of the town of Arkansas. The duke witnesses the shooting of a rowdy drunk in front of the victim's daughter.
- Sherburn delivers a haughty speech on human nature in which he attacks the cowardice and mob mentality of the average person. Sherburn tells the crowd that no one will lynch him in the daytime. The mob, chastened, disreputefully disperses.
- The dauphin disguises Jim in a calico stage robe and blue face paint and posts a sign on him that reads, "Sick Arab—but harmless when not out of his head". The scene is enough to make Huck "ashamed of the human race".
- Huck swindles the Wilks family out of $6,000 in gold. Huck feels terrible about letting such sweet women be swindled and resolves to get them their money back. The dauphin persuades Huck to stay until they have stolen all the family's property.
