Amran (Aziz Jaafar) is a fugitive on the run after being implicated in the activities of a crime syndicate. He is wanted for an alleged murder he did not commit and goes into hiding with the help of Pak Busoh (Haji Mahadi). However, gang members of the syndicate turn up at his place of hiding and he makes a run again to seek help from his sultry club singer friend Noridah (Sarimah). Just when Amran finds it harder to escape the syndicate’s trap, Major Anwar (Ahmad Mahmud) of the police comes to his rescue.
Directed by Dato' Haji Jamil Sulong, Jebak Maut leans on a strong ensemble — Ahmad Mahmud, Sarimah Ahmad, Aziz Jaafar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1967.
