The Running Man crew traveled to the Kaifeng Museum. After a brief lecture on "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," they collectively "traveled" into the famous painting, and the story unfolded from there. Among the eight members are kind-hearted boatmen and scheming spies. To allow a grain-carrying canal boat to pass smoothly through a bridge, the boatman must lower the mast to prevent a collision. The spy, on the other hand, must use various methods to prevent the mast from lowering, either destroying the canal boat or successfully locating and assassinating the general. Only those who win a game set by the directors are allowed to board the boat to verify their identities.
