The Trap

Gaspard (Lon Chaney) is a Northwoods trapper who seeks revenge when Benson (Alan Hale) steals his sweetheart away. He frames Benson for a shooting, and the wrongly accused man is sent to jail. Benson's five-year-old son (Stanley Goethais) is left alone, and Gaspard becomes attached to the child. When Benson is released from prison, Gaspard sets his wolf trap knowing the man will come looking for his son. Irene Rich plays the schoolteacher who tries to educate the surly trapper.
