Every so often while I think of new damsel situations, I recall a bank robbery reenactment that I once watched on a network crime series. It may have been "America's Most Wanted" or "Unsolved Mysteries", but remember it was around mid 1987. I'll describe the episode the best I can remember, and maybe somebody may have seen this episode too.
The story takes place in Tennessee in the early 1980's. The reenactment begins with a gang of bank robbers taking a bank teller and her husband away from their home. Both hostages are blindfolded with duct tape, wrapped around their eyes and head several times. Their wrists are bound with duct tape behind their backs. A small group of robbers take the husband away to hold as a hostage, while the rest of the gang take the teller to her bank overnight.
The next morning, we see other employees arrive at the bank. As they walk into the back office area, the robbers take them aside and begin to bind and gag them in duct tape. The camera angle allows us to see multiple bank employees sitting around, completely bound gagged and blindfolded. Soon, we see the teller being forced to enter her part of the safe combination, only this time her blindfold is removed but she is gagged with duct tape wrapped around her head many times. The bank manager gets the same treatment. After the gang gathers the money and leave, we see the manager and the teller sitting side by side, fully bound, gagged and blindfolded.
The teller is taped with her hands behind her back, tape wrapped around her eyes and mouth, torso, waist, knees, and ankles. She even tries to struggle a little and lets out a few mmmpphs. I believe I remember this episode because the teller was a redhead (my favorite) and the bondage was the most authentic that I have seen on television or film. Although some of the bank employees were men, most of them were women, dressed in business attire - dresses, skirts, heels and hosiery.
The actors were bound for real as there was no way they were going to free themselves. It was good enough to be marketed as a bondage video. Perhaps some of you out there have seen what I have described way back when and maybe, there is a recording of the episode out there.
