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

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for rope that I've seen before include "Guy" , "Length of material used to tie or secure things" , "Master of Suspense directed it" , "making money easily when old?" , "Stranded fastener" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
