* DeusExMachina: the Blues Brothers manage to get to the concert at the Palace Hotel Ballroom, but get stuck with half the Illinois State Police in the building and no way to collect the gate money. A random record executive appears and offers them a contract, enough cash in advance to cover both the orphanage and the Brothers' debts, and even has knowledge of the building to sneak them out past the cops. Considering Who they're on a mission for, this is probably a literal example.
