In the beginning, Mr. Wilson tells a silly joke about separating a dog into two pieces. The townspeople, who are not smart, take Mr. Wilson literally and thereby give him the title of Pudd'nhead. Pudd'nhead Wilson's career is ruined; none of the townspeople would hire a pudd'nhead for a lawyer. Pudd'nhead then befriends the judge who realizes that Mr. Wilson is not the pudd'nhead people make him out to be! At a point in their friendship, the judge learns, and thinks highly of, Mr. Wilson's calendrical strategies. In an attempt to salvage Mr. Wilson's reputation as a pudd'nhead, the judge displays the info publicly to all of the town. Contrary to what the judge hoped, Pudd'nhead Wilson's reputation as pudd'nhead is now cemented. Roxy, a slave and mother, who is 1/16 black, switches her real child (who is 1/32 black) with the white child who she watches over. Her real child, who we call Tom, grows into a sociopath through excessive pampering and lack of discipline. The other child, who we call Chambers, is forced into slavery and treated terribly, mainly by Tom, throughout. Tom, the false only-heir to a highly respected family, falls into hefty debt due to his gambling addiction. His mother, who, while containing some doubt, does love her child, comes clean to Tom about his true heritage. At first, Tom doesn't believe Roxy, but realizes his mother is telling the truth by the end of their discussion. With this new knowledge, Tom's personal identity has been torn apart. He goes into a deep depression, hating himself for being a slave and hating other slaves for reminding him. For a time, that is; After a while Tom goes back to his normal, evil self. During this time a pair of twins move into town. With experience gained from travel, they quickly become respected and idolized by the townspeople. The townspeople.. except for Tom. Tom, with all his jealousy, hates the twins. Eventually a time comes where the twins are competing with tom's (false) father for a spot in office. Tom, having learned one of the twins had killed someone in self defence, conveys this information to his father, who uses it to sabotage the twins' reputation and win the election. then tom kills someone and pudd'nhead wilson proves it was tom and tom becomes a slave and pudd'nhead wilson is no longer a pudd'nhead and the twin's reputation is restored and chambers isn't a slave anymore
