The Secret Service is looking for a break in a counterfeiting case and they offer
gang member Lloyd Bridges who is in prison a chance to squeal on his old mob.
Bridges won't talk, but does pull off an escape.
It's all a set up with the Treasury guys monitoring him and his moll Barbara Payton's every move. Like puppets on a string, but the strings come loose and they are working in the dark.
As we learn what's the ending here is not the ending planned as Bridges is taken out of the picture because in real life he got ill. What happens isn't the most satisfactory conclusion, but it had to do.
Even with making the change on the fly, Trapped is a nice satisfactory B film from Columbia with the ensemble cast fitted nicely in their parts.
