The McGuffin: perfect for trapping lions in the Scottish Highlands

MacGuffin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Hitchcock explained the term 'McGuffin' in a 1939 lecture at Columbia University: '[We] have a name in the studio, and we call it the 'MacGuffin'. It is the mechanical element that usually crops up in any story. In crook stories it is almost always the necklace and in spy stories it is most always the papers'"
