Trapped

A tense and gritty crime drama, Trapped begins to unfold as the U.S. Treasury Department investigates the sudden appearance of several counterfeit bills recognized as the work of Tris Stewart (Lloyd Bridges), a criminal already doing time in prison. To find out who got their hands on Stewart's old bank plates, he's offered a shorter sentence, but Tris refuses to talk. A few weeks later, Stewart escapes during a prison transfer, but it's a Treasury Department set-up. Hoping Stewart will go for the plates, an agent tails him until Tris manages to give him the slip. Having anticipated this would happen, the Treasury Department bugged the apartment of Stewart's girlfriend (Barbara Payton) and placed an agent, John Downey (John Hoyt), at the nightclub where she works. Agent Downey manages to get in with Stewart and they partner up - plotting to get their hands on the counterfeit cash and then skip the country. But before the deal is sealed, Downey's cover is unexpectedly blown. All hell breaks loose as possible double-crosses develop and the Treasury Department struggles to get their man.
