The Bait is a television crime thriller movie about a heroic police officer Tracy Fleming who is out to catch a killer making murdering attacks on women in Los Angeles. The reason behind all this is that all the women work in the area. Filmed in 1971 and made in 1973, it stars Donna Mills. The film was based on a novel by former police officer Dorothy Uhnak, who was embarrassed over the liberties taken with her work by this film. The film itself was the pilot for an unlaunched weekly TV series.
