Plots(1)
An L.A. homicide cop makes $9200 a year. Enough to get by on - unless the cop's wife likes big houses and swimming pools. Then a man can fall into The Money Trap, so desperate for dough he'll trade his integrity... and maybe his future... for a score. In this unforgiving tale of crime and consequences, Glenn Ford as Detective Joe Baron and Elke Sommer as his extravagant wife head an impressive cast: Joseph Cotten, portraying a doctor with half a million in mob money just begging to be stolen; Ricardo Montalban, as a cop who wants a piece of Joe's action; and as Joe's booze-hazy ex-flame, film goddess Rita Hayworth, Ford's co-star in the torrid classic Gilda. Money brings them all together - and tears their lives apart. (official distributor synopsis)
