When a snotty-nose city kid loses his parents to a car crash and had to come to live at the Orphanage, Tom and Wilbert were sent down to the cellar to retrieve another bed. While they were down there, the light bulb blew. Looking over the mattress they found a door with a stream of light. Tom and Wilbert were curious for a look, but they needed to get rid of the new kid first. So they hatched a plan and decided to get even with the snotty nose kid for calling them low life commoners. They encouraged him to play war games with them and tied him up at the bottom of the orphanage. Although Tom only played war games for fun, now he was playing the real thing. Realizing he was alone and trapped hanging down in a mineshaft only by the shoelace around his waist. He had to teach himself fast, how to use a gun. He soon realized there was no easy path home and he had to fight to save his life and the life of his friend.
