Fake Heroism Plan

It's up there with Get-Together Meal, Secret Switch-Up, and even World Domination itself.

A plan that involves one person pretending to be in danger and another person having to publicly prove their heroism by saving the fake endangered person, often with the goal of restoring their public image. Oftentimes, the person who is in fake danger may be put in real danger either after being in a place that actually is dangerous for too long or the situation of the area around them changes for the worse, therefore putting them in real danger.
