As you might imagine, the stereotype involves a young woman walking home in the dark by herself. She is wearing a provocative outfit and has had a couple of drinks. A man (usually of a dark skin tone) jumps out from an alley or from behind a bush and drags her away. She is horrified, injured and shocked. She calls the police immediately and they begin to tirelessly search for this dangerous villain.
