The [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] and/or [[Distressed Dude in Distress|Dude]] is sitting in their cell with head in hands, or hanging by a thread from a cliff, when suddenly, the door is broken down, or a head peeps over the cliff edge. Joy turns to terror as he or she realizes it's the villain (who unbeknownst to them has made a [[Heel Face Turn]],) an [[Eldritch Abomination]], [[Fluffy the Terrible]], a [[Killer Robot]]... and so on.
 
Usually it'll only be temporary until someone fills the rescuee in on current events, although it may lead to [[Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like]]. Sometimes it'll turn out they actually ''are'' in worse danger now such as with a [[Villainous Rescue]] or [[Destructive Savior]].
