Generally, "walk a straight line" or "walk in a straight line" are idiomatic for literal use (i.e. talking about physically walking in a straight line). But "walk the straight line" (see Google News http://news.google.co.uk/archivesearch?q =%22walk+the+straight+line%22&btnG=S earch&um=1&ned=uk&hl=en& scoring=a ) is also idiomatically correct if you mean it in a more figurative sense (= behave correctly / follow a morally straight course).
