The cat asks the man to use the money he has left, and to get him a pair of boots. Once the cat puts on his boots, Puss travels about with his master. He makes a gift of a rabbit to the king, and pretends it is from his master; the cat says his master is the Duke of Carabas. Determined to make his master's fortune, the cat also tricks a giant and manages to get rid of him.

The king decides he wants his daughter to marry the cat's owner, and the cat persuades his master to remove his clothes, and dive into the river. When the king stops to help, the cat explains that the Duke had been bathing when robbers took his clothes. The king dresses the Duke in fine clothes, and the princess sees him.
