The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually.

However, a variety of 19th century research experiments suggested that the underlying premise is true, provided the heating is gradual enough.
