The Trap is a 1946 American mystery crime film directed by Howard Bretherton and starring Sidney Toler and Victor Sen Yung.

Marcia retaliates by threatening to reveal Adelaide's secret marriage to disgraced doctor George Brandt.

Jimmy rushes to the crime scene and tries to launch an investigation himself, but the elder Chan arrives and takes charge.

Suspicion points to many members of the Cole King company, but Chan sets a trap to catch the real killer.

Star Sidney Toler, suffering from cancer during his last few films, was now so weak that he could hardly walk, and could stand for only short periods of time.
