Players improvise a scene.  A caller* rings a bell and the action freezes.  A new actor replaces one of the actors in the scene and contributes something unusual to the scene.  The bell is rung again, the scene freezes and the original actor returns and justifies what was just done or said by his or her character.

*Host, emcee, other improviser or member of the audience.
