After an experience with hypnosis, be it a stage performer or a friend trying out his "skills", a character finds himself the puppet of accidental or intentional post-hypnotic commands. The results can range from simple embarrassment to outright danger. Often the character has to be rescued from the brink of disaster before a reputable professional can rid him of his compulsions. Almost invariably, the character originally bragged that he or she couldn't be hypnotized, which only compounds their later embarrassment at being Weak-Willed against hypnotism.
