Dig someone out of a hole, or do something that turns the tide and turns the situation into a success, particularly at the last minute and when unexpected, with all hope lost.
Same as come through for someone in the clutch, only an older phrase, and more precise, better conveying the sense of "in the nick of time", and "unexpected".
Look at it like this- played out action movie scenario: there are three guys fighting. 2 vs 1. One of them gets knocked out cold, and then the guy that knocked him out pulls out a gun and is about to finish off the other guy. Just when he is about to pull the trigger and send him to kingdom come, he gets hit in the head/ shot in the back etc by someone, and we see that someone is the guy who was out cold.
He came up trumps.

My old junker broke down and left me stranded in the middle of nowhere, but this guy came up trumps and gave me a ride.
#come up trumps
This bully started pushing me around, but Daniel came up trumps just when I was about to get my ass kicked big time, and took him down a few pegs.

Get the Come Up mug.‘So, baby, come light me up’ is a line from Ariana Grande’s song, ‘Into You’, that was released in 2016 as part of her ‘Dangerous Woman’ album.
The iconic line is the first line of ‘Into You’’s chorus.
‘So, baby, come light me up
and, baby, I’ll let you on it.
A little bit dangerous,
but baby that’s how I want it.’
