The dynamics of the high-inclination Plutinos is systematically studied. Wefirst present the peculiar features of the 2:3 Neptune mean motion resonance(NMMR) for inclined orbits, especially for the correlation of resonantamplitude A_{\sigma} with inclination i. Using the numerical integrations forthe age of the Solar system, the dynamical structure of the 2:3 NMMR is mappedout on the plane of semi-major axis versus i for different eccentricities. Wehave shown that i of stable resonant orbits could be as high as 90 deg; and thestable region is roughly surrounded by the contours of A_{\sigma} = 120 deg.These new findings allow us to further explore the 2:3 NMMR capture andretention of planetesimals with initial inclinations i0 =< 90 deg in the frameof the planet migration model. We find that the outward transportation ofPlutinos is possible for any inclined or even perpendicular orbits.  The role of i0 in the formation of Plutinos during Neptune's migration ishighlighted and interesting results are obtained: (1) The capture efficiency ofthe 2:3 NMMR decreases drastically first with the increase of i0, but it thenraises instead when i0 exceeds ~ 50 deg; (2) The magnitude of i-variation islimited to less than 5 deg for any i0, and moreover, for Plutinos with i > 48deg, their i are forced to decrease throughout the outward migration; (3)Plutinos with i > 48 deg are certainly outside the Kozai mechanism, since aninclination increase is prohibited by the migrating 2:3 NMMR; (4) The 7:11inclination-type NMMR could be responsible for nearly-circular Plutinos, and aminimum i0 ~ 15 deg is required to intrigue this mechanism.
