Consider this plot:
The protagonist is ordered by his boss(or hired by his
client) to go into a potentially dangerous situation. He
makes precautions to insure against something going badly.
Along with a female companion he ventures forth. They fall
into a trap set by the villain and are captured and
imprisoned. By luck, guile and force they manage to overcome
and kill the villain. It sounds like many of the Matt Helm
plots, for example. It also happens to be the plot of Hansel
and Gretel.
And DR. NO.
Let me add: and both Austin Powers.
