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.

Get the oh come on!mug. Theory explaining that sexual selection in Homo Sapiens is determined by the male’s sexual performance i.e. his ability to provide strong orgasm to females, which is mostly determined by penis size, shape, stiffness, endurance, etc . One of the main explanations for the fact that xenophobic circles are mainly populated by men with small penises and sexually frustrated women.
Milf #1: I’m sick of Derek’s racist slur. I just blocked him from my list. I can’t believe such an educated being xenophobic.
Milf #2: I’m sick of his fucktard mentality too, but you know, I kind a feel pity for the guy too. I guess it all comes down to dick.
Milf #1: what do you mean having pity for such a biggot?
Milf #2: Well you know, back in college he and I dated for a while and... Well I cheated on him with the first bick black dick I could find. And I know it wasn’t the first time this happened to him... And from what I understand it wasn’t the last time either.
