Danger Man "The Trap" #1.31 (1961) (TV)

Drake gets a ride in a helicopter, 23 July 2016


John Drake's Mission: Find a woman with top-secret clearance who has mysteriously gone missing.

Overall, The Trap is a bust. It's easily one of the worst episodes I've seen so far. The biggest problem I had was there's not much going on. The episode is 18 minutes in before anything really happens. And the whole situation could have been avoided had the woman Drake was trying to protect actually listened to him and done what he asked.

There is one scene in The Trap, however, that I found particularly effective. It's when the frail, old woman suddenly rises to her feet and produces a hypodermic and a vial of some sort of knock out meds. Very nice visual.

4/10
