Coincidental Broadcast: Played straight and averted. The evening news makes no mention of the robbery Hunt and his daughter witnessed, but later on Tucker happens to see a report about his gang on TV.

Biopic: Of Forrest Tucker. The film borrows heavily from a New Yorker article on Tucker's story.

Anti-Hero: Tucker would easily be a Villain Protagonist in any other movie, but here his love of the thrill of crime, his friendly personality and lack of any violence make him sympathetic.

Contrived Coincidence: For no other reason than to give the two a scene together, Tucker and Hunt cross paths at the same diner.
