Latex Perfection: Penelope's old lady mask is very convincing when she has it on her face, while it doesn't appear to be so when James finds it in the bank's toilets. | |

Involuntary Charity Donation: The Salvation Army officer comes at the police department to report about the stolen $1000 banknote that a disguised Penelope gave to him. Since it's stolen money it has to be given back to James, but Penelope (as herself) ends up pushing a reluctant James to sign a $1000 check for the Salvation Army in return. | |

Lead Police Detective | |
| Penelope (1966) / int_6d0c6ed6 | comment |
Lead Police Detective: Lt. Horatio Bixbee leads the robbery case. His portrayal by Peter Falk makes the role a sort of dry run for Columbo, with several similar mannerisms and observation skills (though somehow not enough to unmask Penelope for the latter). | |
