gets out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'how to escape?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'finds the solution' is the wordplay.
'finds' becomes 'gets' ('get' can be a synonym of 'find').
'the solution' becomes 'out' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'gets'+'out'='GETS OUT'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
