Deion runs away with his ex-wives in pursuit, effectively ending his marriage to Kate. Furious, the Latimore brothers try to kill Norbit for ruining their plans, but the townspeople unite and protect him. In a blind fury, Rasputia fights her way through the crowd armed with a spade and tries to bludgeon Norbit to death, but is harpooned in the backside by Mr. Wong. She and her brothers are run out of town, and Kate reconciles with Norbit, and the two share a kiss. Norbit then ends his marriage to Rasputia, on the grounds of her affair with Buster and her attempted murder of him.
