She is, however, now married to judge Török, who, it appears, is willing to let her return to Csillag. The lad and his troop arrive. The Hussars' pay was in the lost purse.

Török has in the meantime left, and he now returns in secret. Zsófi invites Pali for dinner. Though nothing happens, the homecoming Török still chases his wife away and reports Pali because of the lost 500 forints. In the end, both the purse and the money of the judge are found, the judge settles the affair with Zsófi while Pali finds his lover in Mencike. (official distributor synopsis)
