''Radar Secret Service'' is a 1950 movie that purports to show the more or less fantastic powers of the [[PhlebotinumDuJour then newly-invented]] radar, and what they might lead to TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture. The eponymous agency is apparently headquartered in UsefulNotes/WashingtonDC and may or may not have branch offices.

The movie's plot centers around a hijacked convoy carrying uranium. This uranium was stolen from under the Radar Secret Service's nose by TheMafia, but still has to be shipped down river to some vaguely evil bad guys. However, the Radar Secret Service is on the trail, using their all-knowing, all-seeing electronic marvel to find the uranium and follow them. It's a battle of wits and double-crossing to get the bad guys.

* DullSurprise: The maid, or as Mike and the Bots suggest, "The director's mistress, ladies and gentlemen!"
* {{Hypochondria}}: The only Mook with even the vaguest hint of character appears to have it. Whether he actually does or he's just a BadLiar is questionable; he does have pills, but he doesn't remember whether he was to take eight at five or five at eight. His "buddy" suggests he errs on the side of caution and take thirteen.
* LoveTriangle: The gang boss, his mob client, and their mutual love interest (there's no better description for her character).

** The mustachio'd g-man tries to catch a gangster without backup and get sneaked up on by the mustachio'd gang boss on by bad luck, despite the waitress' attempt to stall his assailant.

** All of the men wear suits and fedoras. Both the more punchy g-man and the gang boss have thin mustaches; everyone else is dark-haired and clean-shaven. The easiest way to tell the characters apart is by their ''ties.''

* TapOnTheHead: Played with unintentionally. The mustachio'd g-man receives one to the back of the head. Realistically, he recovers quickly. Unrealistically, he recovers quickly despite it being delivered via full-armed PistolWhipping to the top-rear of his head, where the skull is thinnest.

* WritingIndentationClue: An unusual aural variant--the mustachio'd g-man listens to the waitress make a phone call. He determines the number she dials by ''listening to the timing of the rotary phone'' as she dials, then doesn't even bother to try and eavesdrop on her actual conversation. It's the one clever thing in the entire film.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: The film portrays radar as an EverythingSensor that can find a variety of things you'd use entirely different types of equipment for in real life:

** Radar apparently has the ability to project HDTV-quality images of whatever the bad guys are doing to a viewscreen. Failing that, radar can also pick up:
*** Distinct items through all the buildings and numerous moving objects (since this is usually radioactive material, the creators may have confused radar for Geiger counters).
*** Schools of fish in the ocean (suggesting confusion with sonar).
*** A gun buried in loose sand (without a dedicated high-frequency ground-penetrating radar set).
*** Mineral deposits deep underground (which is just outside the capability of any ground-penetrating radar).
** Carrying around highly radioactive material in an unshielded van.

* FlatCharacter: The entire cast, basically.

* OnlyAFleshWound: happens twice:

* Hypochondria: The only Mook with even the vaguest hint of character appears to have it. Whether he actually does or he's just a BadLiar is questionable; he does have pills, but he doesn't remember whether he was to take eight at five or five at eight. His "buddy" suggests he errs on the side of caution and take thirteen.

* Mook: Any mobster that isn't the gang boss or the client.
