Synopsis:

Debonair actor Paul Henreid gives an offbeat performance as an ex-military intelligence officer turned dilettante amateur detective in this exciting, early ’50s crimer based on Elleston Trevor’s best-selling novel. Directed with verve by Terence Fisher and showcasing Lois Maxwell as a woman on the edge, Mantrap has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives.

Lawyer Hugo Bishop is shocked when an old friend asks him to track down an escaped murderer and prove the man’s innocence. With a police dragnet closing in and the escapee’s wife in a state of distress, Bishop must use all his cunning to find the real murderer and clear the man’s name.
