Trapped

Trapped is a 42 minute comedy about a writer trying desperately to sell his short story to a very impatient publisher. The writer battles a cascading series of obstacles, not the least of which is a chipmunk infestation. At the precise moment he should be celebrating his long dreamed-of sale, the writer finds himself in the middle of a police manhunt. He is snared by 3 angry officers who are convinced he's the man they're after. Desperate, the writer uses his short story as an alibi: if only the cops would look at his story they'd know that he is innocent. That offer turns the 3 police officers into unexpectedly astute literary critics who examine the writer's story and find not an alibi, but incrimination.
