His parents had tried to escape from North Korea but had been arrested, and Ttoli had been abandoned. Meanwhile, with the Red Chief’s birthday approaching, communists force workers to “dig the tunnel faster,” “make a trench,” and “bring wild ginseng.” Ttoli, catches on to the communists’ plans. Together with his friends, he defeats the North Koreans who were digging the third tunnel, saves his father who was among the prisoners, and finally comes face to face with the Red Chief.
