One of two scenarios are possible here:
This episode was adapted closely from the comic book, in which case we can forgive the tropiness of the events because the "villain frames hero, making the hero look evil" sequence of events wasn't yet a trope in the 1970s.
The writers for this episode reused a trope.
Either way, I think it was executed well. Some people argue that every story is a trope anyway.
