"The Trap" is the seventh episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. It was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on 10 November 1967 on ATV Midlands, was written by Alan Pattillo and directed by Alan Perry. In this episode, the Mysterons plot to cause disaster at a secret International Air Conference.
"The Trap" is the only contribution to Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons from Pattillo, who was a major scriptwriter for Thunderbirds. The episode features several special effects sequences and models, and its production included some challenges for the effects departments. Footage from "The Trap" is used as a flashback in the clip show episode, "The Inquisition".
An International Air Conference has been organised to discuss anti-Mysteron defence. However, Commodore Goddard and his pilot, Holt, are killed en route to Cloudbase to finalise arrangements when their XQR plane is struck by storm lightning and crashes. The XQR's escort, Melody Angel, is uncertain what happened due to poor visibility. On arrival at Cloudbase, a Mysteron reconstruction of Goddard announces that, for secrecy, the conference will be held at the remote Glen Garry Castle in the Scottish Highlands. The Mysterons cryptically warn that the "wings of the world will be clipped" the next morning.
