Times may vary, so CYLL.

Record number: 431

Title: Comes a Horseman (1978)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Jane Fonda

Description: In the last 15 minutes of this latter-day Western, Ms. Fonda is shown tightly overgagged in a dark closet. The short scene is shot entirely in closeup with no bonds visible.

Baddie Jason Robards has conked goodie James Caan and tossed him into the closet, and then proceeds to set the house alight.

Caan comes to, ungags and releases Fonda (she asks him to "cut the rope off my hand," but again, neither her wrists nor any bonds are shown), and they escape their intended fate.

Title: Abduction of Kari Swenson, The (1987)
Medium: TV Movie
Actress: Tracy Pollan

Description: Cute sportswoman is kidnapped by crazed mountain men. Sounds promising but it isn't. Near the beginning of the movie they take her with them on a short rope attached in front to her bound wrists. There's a second 'scene' later when she's tightly chained to a tree at her waist. No gag

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Day: Saturday January 11 2003
Time: 5:40 pm et
Channel: AMC
Record number: 255

Title: Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Karen Allen

Description: About halfway into the movie, Marion Ravenwood (Allen) is nabbed by the evil Nazis. Later hero Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) stumbles upon her in a Bedouin tent, cleave gagged with a sodden hankerchief, her wrists bound behind her back and around the center pole which supports the tent's roof. Indy ungags her and they have a tender reunion (he thought she was dead) but then rethinks the situation and decides to regag her much to her understandable (and vocal) dismay. Later, she is seen in the same predicament, briefly, as she tries to squirm away from one of the villians who unties her. In these scenes she's wearing slacks and a white and red patterned blouse.

Towards the end of the film, Marion and Indy are tied to a stake back to back while the Nazis prepare to open the Ark. The ropes, curiously, tie their left wrists to the corresponding right one of their partner. When the spirits of the Ark are released, they destroy the Nazis and burn through the heroes bindings, leaving them unscathed.

In the latter scene, Marion is wearing a white satin cocktail dress.
