Trapped is a 1973 American made-for-television action thriller film starring James Brolin, Susan Clark, Earl Holliman and Robert Hooks. It originally aired as an ABC Movie of the Week on November 14, 1973. It was released theatrically in the UK as Doberman Patrol. Synopsis Chuck Brenner and his daughter, Carrie, shop for a hard-to-find "Billy Jo" doll at a Noonan's Department Store. Chuck's ex-wife, Elaine, arrives to pick up Carrie. They argue, Chuck not happy that she's moving with Carrie to Mexico City that night with David Moore, her current husband, and disrupting his visitation rights. A cashier tells them that the doll is out of stock in the store but she's having one sent by messenger from their warehouse. Chuck lets Elaine and Carrie leave for dinner while he waits for the doll to arrive. The cashier, Miss Havermeyer, has to go to the main office to break the large bill Chuck pays with, so he starts to smoke. But noticing the store sign that says smoking is only allowed in restaurants, lounges and restrooms, he heads to the men's restroom. Inside, he's attacked by two young muggers. Chuck fights back but is knocked out cold with a blackjack. They steal his watch, cash and other valuables before locking him inside one of the stalls, but leave the doll. Meanwhile, Elaine meets David at the VIP lounge at the airport. Carrie solemnly waits for her father, declining dinner until he arrives. David is a reasonable man and believes something may have happened to Chuck, but Elaine is cynical and thinks Chuck is just irresponsible and got drunk somewhere. Their flight is called to board. Carrie still resents David for displacing her father. The store closes and Hanrahan's Guard Dogs sets up, releasing six extremely aggressive attack dogs on each floor after erecting tall barriers at each escalator. The men are all in heavily padded, full-body bite suits with mesh helmets, the leader walking with a cane and a very pronounced limp as if he had been mauled by a dog once. They turn off all the circuit breakers in the store, including the elevators, before leaving.
