Woman Trap is a 1929 American drama film directed by William A. Wellman and starring Evelyn Brent. This action thriller was Wellman's second sound picture. Woman Trap is focused in a four cornered love between captain Hal Skelly (Clarence Wilson), Kitty Evans(Evelyn Brent) and his good for nothing brother Ray Malone (Chester Morris).

Dan, a tough police captain, and Ray, a hardened criminal, are estranged brothers. When Ray faces capture, Kitty, the sister of Ray's ex-partner (whom Dan helped to convict), offers to help him escape because she sees an opportunity for revenge against Dan. She notifies the police and Dan of Ray's whereabouts, regretting her actions too late to prevent their capture. To avert arrest by his brother, Ray commits suicide. Kitty consoles Dan in his grief, and they come to an understanding over Ray's body.
