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.
