Line 8:
Two, usually diametrically opposed, characters are chained or handcuffed together for the duration. [[An Aesop]] occurs. In the right genre, may result in a forced [[Enemy Mine]]. May be employed in a symbolic manner and progress into [[Chains of Love]]. In other genres, it will be played for laughs as both characters will then try to carry on with their (often conflicting) activities despite the handicap. Also odds are good they'll want to hide what happened, letting them make up a wild story as to why they are holding one another's hand. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
Can overlap with [[Working on the Chain Gang]] when this trope occurs between escaping prisoners; if so, might also overlap with [[Great Escape]]. If it's an adhesive that locks them together, it's a [[Sticky Situation]].
See also [[Locked in a Room]], [[With My Hands Tied]].
