I think I understand what you now want...
The helix itself to be twisted along the distorted-path...
Then you do the FollowMe

Here's a way of using ShapeBender with appropriately oriented/sized 'bits'; followed by Weld and then EEbyFace...

Allo ?

Something like this?

You nailed it. Is it a plugin?

Yes it is a plugin. It is a little rough around sharp corners and may take a little trial and error to get the input parameters just right. Pre-select the centerline then run plugin. You are prompted for the radius of the helix, and the linear and angular increments.

Excellent.
Helix around bent helix:
Most appreciated mate.

Woah, great work Sam!

Reminds me of the days before cordless phones!

Ha ha, no Pete, I just changed the profiles of the lines to 5 and did a screengrab.
