Bluff the Impostor: Robert tells a pair of "RCMP officers" that he might have the guys who've been pursuing him and his witness all over a train "on a 374". They agree, which tips him off to their being fake. 374 is "indecent exposure".

Da Chief: An interesting variation in Martin Larner, the soft-spoken L.A. chief deputy D.A. - meaning that he'd also answer to the D.A., but is still Robert Caulfield's superior - who vetoes his risky plan on the grounds that it could fall through and let the villain walk on trail; Robert promptly accuses him of being publicity-hungry. Roger Ebert, in the review that would also codify Idiot Plot, was moved to discuss the trope and its shortcomings:
