It's a tie game with no score. A guy meets a cute girl. They have drinks, maybe lunch; witty banter is exchanged. She takes him up to a hotel room. She produces rope (or sometimes handcuffs) and suggests he be chained to the bed and kinkiness will ensue. The guy always enthusiastically agrees. At which point she cheerfully robs him blind and leaves, leaving the robbed (and naked) guy stuck until someone finds him. A prime example of Comedic Sociopathy in that the victim is not only robbed (as in a mugging), but deeply humiliated in a public way while the trope is (almost always) played entirely for laughs at his expense. Sometimes the setup is used for dramatic, rather than comedic effect, as the person who was chained to the bed is now helpless and at the mercy of the person who tied them up or whoever discovers them. In the comic example the victim is nearly Always Male; in the dramatic example the victim might be male or female. If it is a woman chained to a bed it's much more likely that it's deadly serious. Compare Chained to a Rock, Bound and Gagged, and Shameful Strip. Overlaps with Kinky Cuffs and The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction. Often a certain type of fanservice or a Casual Kink. Sometimes, it's part of a Hollywood Exorcism. |

Played for laughs when Sherlock Holmes walks right into this trap in Sherlock Holmes (2009), resulting in the page image. During a meeting with Irene Adler, he ends up blacking out after drinking the doctored wine she offered him. When he awakens, he finds she stripped him naked and handcuffed him to a bedpost, with only a pillow strategically placed over his crotch. And then to add insult to injury, she left the key to the cuffs under that pillow. | |

Will escapes being tied to the chair and, having twigged to the plot, calls up Carlton and "explains" the situation, saying that he panicked and killed the woman. Hilarity Ensues. | |

When Archie barges in, she hides the gun, pretends that the situation is exactly what it looks like, and leaves with her loot; Murray plays along until he's sure she's gone. | |

Black Paradox have an example played not for fanservice, when Dr. Suga reveals his true colours to Marisou, who promptly decides to bail... only to pass out in shock when she sees Barrachi expelling dozens of paradoxical orbs from her facial tumor. When Marisou regains consciousness, she realize she's chained by her wrists and ankles to a bed in Dr. Suga's basement, and spends most of her remaining screentime (until the last chapter) shackled. There's a brief moment where Taburo, disgusted with Dr. Suga's actions, contemplates on releasing Marisou so that she can be his witness in exposing Suga's actions, but then Marisou starts having her visions and rants aloud about how Suga's about to cause the apocalypse, at which point Taburo changed his mind. | |

Patrick ends up handcuffing himself to the bed in anticipation of his girlfriend bringing back another woman for their supposed threesome. Needless to say, Earth logic need not apply. Again. |

Happens to Angel all the time since his friends believe that is the practical solution every time he is in danger of having lost his soul. Inversely his vampire ex-friends chain him up for having a soul. Can't really win that one. In Season One after 'happy pills' inexplicably caused a temporary reversion to evil—apparently if he isn't really happy his soul goes into temporary suspension until the fake euphoria wears off?—and they overpowered him, Angel woke up extremely chained to his bed. He and his friends established that yes, he was really okay now and yes, they were willing to forgive him for scaring them out of their wits and nearly killing them. Then they walk off and leave him there indefinitely. Played for Laughs. |

Chuck: Karina chains Casey to a bed in "Chuck vs. the Wookiee". When Sarah finds him, her immediate reaction is to photograph him rather than try to rescue him. The eventual result is that Casey breaks the headboard off and beats down his captors with a piece of wood. And then happens to Chuck in "Chuck vs. the Suburbs". Casey is later chained to a radiator (no seduction in that case). He takes it with him, and uses it to hit someone. Roan Montgomery also got chained to a bed and blindfolded by a Moroccan terrorist in "Chuck vs. the Seduction Impossible". |

Happens to the title character of Dominic Deegan. Played completely for comedy, because it's Rachel and Dominic. Comic here. What's interesting is the massive amounts of Dude, Not Funny! reaction from the fan forum. It was very much implied to be non-consensual (as Dominic claims to have had "no choice in the matter"), so treating it as comedy (compared to the male-on-female rape that is treated as drama) has some Unfortunate Implications. | |

A similar urban legend is about a man tying his wife to the bed so he can play a "Batman saves the girl" role play scene. But during the fun he jumped onto the bed and smashed his head on the ceiling fan, knocking him unconscious. The woman had to call for help until the police kicked in the door to save them. (The Big Book of Urban Legends, a book of short comic-strip treatments of various ULs, had this one illustrated by Kevin Maguire of Justice League International fame.) | |

Happened in at least the Spanish version of Lalola. Lola hires a prostitute to come to Jerkass Gustavo's house and handcuff him to the bed, making him late for an important meeting. The prostitute then puts lipstick on him, writes "SOY UN CAPULLO" (loosely, "I'm a bastard") on his chest in lipstick and takes pictures, which Lola hangs up around the office. It's fantastic. | |

Highlander: The Series This happens to protagonist Duncan MacLeod, who was over two hundred years old by then and really, really should have known better. The girl who did that to Duncan was a bounty hunter named Reagan Cole who uses sexuality as part of her MO to capture her prey. Once he was tied up, she blew a whistle and turned him over to the authorities, who were waiting in the next room. When she found out Duncan was going to be beheaded instead of imprisoned (it turned out Duncan had had relations with a duke's wife), she helped him escape. He got her back afterwards by kissing her, then tying her up to a wagon wheel and leaving her. It happens to Richie too. The poor boy never did have any luck with his women. |

Leisure Suit Larry: Happens in Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards. If the player has failed to acquire the knife necessary for Larry to cut himself free before this happens, its game over. Also two different types of death scenes in Leisure Suit Larry 2: Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places) — one with "Mama Bimbo", another with any of Dr. Nonookie's "helicopter girls". A variation occurs at the beginning of Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail!, wherein Shamara (after indeed spending the night with Larry), leaves him handcuffed to a bed and steals Larry's wallet... Then he accidentally sets the hotel on fire. |

Self-inflicted example occurs in Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps: Gaz is convinced that he and Donna need something to spice up their relationship. Something romantic. So he strips down to a latex posing pouch, covers his crotch and nipples in whipped cream, handcuffs every limb to a bedpost and waits,with a large, flashing novelty dildo in his hand, for Donna to come home. She takes one look and freaks out, running out of his flat and leaving him there... | |

There is also The Odyssey, where Hephaestus chains Aphrodite and Ares to a bed as revenge for Aphrodite cheating on him. Although there's a difference between 'guy stupidly lets a girl tie him to the bed' and 'guy and girl are busy on the bed when a net of golden chains made by girl's angry husband traps both of them'. |

Saving Grace: In "A Language of Angels", Grace is about to have sex with a male prostitute named Zack. As foreplay, she agrees to be bound to the four corners of the bed with handcuffs on each limb, facedown and completely naked. He then draws a smiley face on her back and writes his name on her butt with lipstick. Unfortunately, when he finds out she is a cop, he panics and runs away, leaving her bound. Ham comes in and leaves in disgust instead of freeing her. Earl comes in and lectures her instead of freeing her. Several hours later, Ham comes back and frees her. | |

In Hostage, Jennifer Smith (Michelle Horn) is tied to a bed by psycho Serial Killer mercenary Mars (Ben Foster). She's rescued in the nick of time by her kid brother before Mars can do anything rapey. In somewhat of a fulfillment of the trope's page quote, Mars is later killed during a confrontation with Bruce Willis (although not shot in the face). | |

She hates having to run but as she's just in PJs and Tim didn't bring any extra body armor in his hurry it's the only option they have. | |

Stephanie Plum: In the first book, Stephanie is interrupted while showering and ends up handcuffed to the shower — an example of this trope being played to comedic effect with a woman. The book gets away with it because the guy who does it is just trying to keep her out of the way so he can search her apartment for something he believes she has. He ogles her a bit, but it's presented as being mostly playfulness (they have "history" together), as well as causing her to get embarrassed and cover up rather than make trouble. | |

(When he tries to talk his way out of it, addressing Scully as "baby", she warns him that if he does so again he will be "peeing through a catheter".) | |

This happened to George Costanza in Seinfeld. His latest plan to pick up women is to ride the subway in a suit reading the financial section of the paper, making it look like he's a hotshot stockbroker. The woman he picks up this way indeed thinks he's rich, gets him tied to a bed, and uses the opportunity to rob him. Or rather try to — George doesn't actually have any money ("Eight dollars? I wasted my whole morning on you for eight dollars?"), so she decides to steal his suit instead. | |

A moderately famous urban legend has this happening to a man who is handcuffed to a bed in anticipation of kinky sex. She then leaves the room and a man dressed as Batman jumps out of the closet and rapes him. That's it. A similar urban legend is about a man tying his wife to the bed so he can play a "Batman saves the girl" role play scene. But during the fun he jumped onto the bed and smashed his head on the ceiling fan, knocking him unconscious. The woman had to call for help until the police kicked in the door to save them. (The Big Book of Urban Legends, a book of short comic-strip treatments of various ULs, had this one illustrated by Kevin Maguire of Justice League International fame.) |

Happens in The New Statesman entirely by accident and the (rich female) victim loves the experience, even as Alan gets back to the hotel and concludes that he doesn't have time to deal with her cuffs if he's going to make the flight home. Possibly the only non-serious version with a female victim. | |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil has a subversion in which the Titular Character is chained to her bed by her best friend albeit not for any romantic reasons. Instead, it was for the purpose of controlling or stopping her Golden Super Mode transformation and the antics that follow subsequently. It didn't work at all. | |

NCIS: Subverted in Season Two's "SWAK": A girl was tied up by her boyfriend in a hotel (as a joke, supposedly to stop her from running off with the cute Navy guys having a celebration downstairs) and was left there for days when he got killed in a traffic accident minutes after he left her alone to go get food for them. Humiliated, she lied when finally found and said she was raped, and her mother goes wacko when the nonexistent rapist is never brought in. In Season Four's "Driven", a Navy programmer died, and while searching for the boyfriend as a suspect, he's found in exactly this situation. |

Used in an episode of Nip/Tuck in which Christian's bitter on-again/off-again girlfriend Kimber tricks him into letting her tie him to a bed, supposedly in preparation for kinky sex...then proceed to torment him with a knife (she never hurts him, but takes great pleasure in making him think she's going to), fed up with the crappy way that he treats her—his most recent stunt involved trying to trade her in for a CAR. Afterwards, she leaves him tied up with a parting shot of, "You'll be fine, your maid comes on Monday." | |

In one of the many deaths in 1000 Ways to Die, a man wakes up after a wild party involving crossdressing handcuffed to a bed, a water bed to be exact. He struggles for a while until one of his stiletto heels cuts a hole in the water bed, and he drowns, unable to get any of the other passed-out guests to hear his screams. | |

Preacher: Tulip does this to Jesse and leaves him tied up for the whole day as revenge for leaving her behind when he went to Masada. Jesse was also tied to a bed by Miss Oatlash for sexual purposes. But she did knock him out first. And dress him in an SS uniform due to her fetishes and political enthusiasm. Which was a bit awkward when his black female deputy encountered him walking around still wearing the uniform, as he'd been a bit too busy to try to find his clothes. |

9 to 5: Frank Hart's three leading lady secretaries (Violet Newstead, Doralee Rhodes, and Judy Bernley) go much further than just chaining him to a bed — they install a restraining system that uses a garage door opener mechanism to keep Frank from harming any of the three secretaries should he try to make his escape. Judy's ex-husband Dick catches her in the bedroom with Frank attached to this security system and thinks that she's Sleeping with the Boss and into BDSM. At the end of film, prior to the credits, a flashback scene has Frank Hart accidentally triggering the restraining system when he thinks he's using the remote to change the channel on his TV. |

In The Secret World, this wound up saving Madame Roget's life. She was handcuffed to her bed with fuzzy cuffs when The Fog rolled in, causing most of the townsfolk to march into the ocean and become zombies. Since Roget was tied up she couldn't go, the problem was that her partner, the mayor, did and he had the key. Thankfully, Deputy Andy was looking in people's house for supplies and survivors. Much blushing and Ship Tease ensued. | |

In 40 Days and 40 Nights, the protagonist has given up all forms of sex for Lent due to a string of unfulfilling relationships, but as he nears the end of his last day he's starting to crack. So he asks his roommate to handcuff him to his bed so he doesn't give in to the urge to "help himself". He wakes up just in time to discover his ex-girlfriend broke into the apartment and is raping him while unconscious just to win a bet, and of course his Love Interest enters the scene just in time to get the wrong idea. He has to apologize to her, with the logical inference that if you're a man who's raped trying to fulfill your vow of chastity, it's your own fault. | |

Shortly after realizing he's undergoing a Slow Transformation, he's chained to a bed by a nurse he sought out for help, who turns out to have a fetish for this sort of thing. He ends up breaking the frame with his newfound strength and stealing her car to escape. The Omnitrix Hero: Shining Armor, who has become a bit of a Conspiracy Theorist towards all the aliens appearing in Canterlot, sees Flash Sentry transform back from one of his alien forms into his human form while knocked out. He takes Flash to an old abandoned apartment building and handcuffs him to a metal bed so he can't reach the watch and interrogates him, wondering if he is even human at all. After Shining leaves to try to stop Animac, Flash manages to free himself by activating the watch with one of the headboard's bars on the bed and transforming into Goop. |

He takes Flash to an old abandoned apartment building and handcuffs him to a metal bed so he can't reach the watch and interrogates him, wondering if he is even human at all. After Shining leaves to try to stop Animac, Flash manages to free himself by activating the watch with one of the headboard's bars on the bed and transforming into Goop. | |

On CSI, this is called a "Trick Roll" and usually involves a prostitute drugging her mark into unconsciousness before robbing him. Then there's the version where the prostitute ties the mark to the bed before forcing them to listen to Rick Astley. Subverted in another CSI episode when a police officer with missing uniform was found to have engaged in some handcuff/uniform kinkiness but was not robbed by the woman - it was instead stolen when sent for much-needed cleaning afterwards. |

In Heartbreakers, Sigourney Weaver's character is tracked down by her ex-husband (well, the most recent one, anyway) in the midst of her scheming to capture the next one. He begs her to take him back. Being too busy to deal with him just at the moment, she persuades him to let her tie him to her hotel bed blindfolded, then takes off and leaves him to be discovered by the maid. Who doesn't exactly rob him, but does refuse to let him go until he offers her a bribe. Incredibly, he later teams up with this character and her daughter to enact another scheme. | |

Last Res0rt uses a downplayed version of this routinely as a preventative measure / enforced "curfew" on criminal players staying in the Executioner's Quarters. Unlike most of the examples here, though, the chains still give them some freedom of movement as opposed to being left spread-eagle and completely vulnerable. | |

The killer-of-the-week in the Criminal Minds episode "Jones" employed this tactic with her victims. As did the UNSUB in "Conflicted". Used as a joke in another episode. "If a John wants to tie you up, walk away. If he wants to be tied up, do it and steal his wallet." And in the climax of "Paradise", the lodge owner ties the woman of a couple to the bed (and her husband to a chair). |

Emergency! In "The One You Least Expect," John Gage gets mixed up with an abusive girlfriend who beats him and ties him to the bed as "a lesson". Roy shows up shortly after and rescues him but John has to help trap the woman because proving everything isn't easy with a small statured woman. It works, but not before he's tied up again and stabbed with a pair of scissors. In "Counterblow", it's even more serious. John reports a cop for abuse and his girlfriend seduces John. She beats him and leaves him tied to the bed. As he and Roy are off shift, it's not until he doesn't show up for work 2 days later that he's found, dehydrated, nearly dead, in his trashed apartment. Naturally, it isn't a pretty sight. The woman was working with a Dirty Cop and he keeps stalking Johnny until he gets into a crash as the police chase him. |

Friends: Julia Roberts guest-stars as a girl Chandler humiliated as a child, and dates him for a while only to convince him to put on her underwear and get naked in a bathroom stall. She then runs away with his clothes. While he is technically not chained to anything, the effect is exactly the same. A variation occurs, AGAIN involving Chandler, later in the show, with Rachel finding Chandler handcuffed to a chair in her boss' office, whom he's dating. Cue him insisting she uncuff him, and her wondering whether it's worth the risk of her boss knowing she was in there and firing her (he's persuaded to stay when she promises to be "very generous" when her friends ask about this). Chandler later gets revenge by leaving the boss chained up, in her slip, for Rachel to discover. |

Justified. In one episode, the US Marshals are tipped off about an escaped con hiding with his girlfriend. Guess how they find them... Boyd Crowder ends up doing this to Quarles near the end of Season 3. He messes it up however by having two Oxycontin addicts be guards, and leaving a nice bottle of the drug in the room. In season three, Quarles binds Brady to a bed and tortures him to death. The crime was part of Quarles' long history of abusing male hustlers. |
