Abe Lincoln was a great president who was lost before his time. After Lincoln's death, there was a plot to steal his body and demand a ransom for the return of Lincoln's body. The plan was to ask for $200,000 ransom. This would have been an incredible amount of money in Lincoln's time.

What the resolution in the story the ransom of red chief?

In "The Ransom of Red Chief," the kidnappers are ultimately unable to collect the ransom for the boy because he proves to be such a handful and drives them crazy. Instead, they end up paying the boy's father to take him back. The story humorously illustrates that the boy was so mischievous and troublesome that his captors were relieved to be rid of him, making him an unlikely "hero" who wins in the end.
