The Trap Synopsis

Doris is driven from her small New England fishing village when a jealous admirer implies that her mild flirtation with visiting artist Stuart Kendall was an intimate love affair. Arriving in New York, alone and penniless, Doris finds employment in a Greenwich Village café, where she again meets Stuart and agrees to become his model. Unaware of his true intentions, Doris lives at Stuart's expense and innocently evades his advances. Out West, rancher Jack Masterson sees Doris' face on a poster and journeys East to propose to her. Doris returns his affections, which so angers Stuart that he resolves to prevent the marriage. On the eve of the wedding, Stuart throws a party for Doris, and when the celebration becomes an orgy, he telephones Jack, who arrives and denounces his fiancée. Realizing Stuart's trick, Doris, in turn, denounces him, but Jack overhears their conversation, and the wedding takes place as planned.
