Summary: In part 3 of The Great Prison Tunnel Escape, the “Big Trick” is revealed.  This is the trick used to keep Little Ross from doing a proper prisoner count.  Why?  Because there are some prisoners digging the tunnel and are therefore absent from the prisoner count.  Does this trick work every time?  Nope.  Disaster, and laughter, unfold in this wild ride of an episode.
