As they go through town scamming, they encountered deaths and violence, but the worst thing they end up doing is selling Jim to a local farm. When Huck goes to rescue him, he realizes his new “ owners” are actually Tom Sawyers aunt and uncle. After plenty of obstacles they eventually rescue him and it is revealed that Jim was a free man all along. Aunt Sally then attempts to adopt Huck but Huck decides that he is done being domesticated and decides to move west.
