A high dispersion analysis of a red supergiant in the young globular cluster NGC 1818 in the Large Magellanic Cloud is presented. The main results are: the iron peak elements are deficient by -0.8 to -1.0 dex; the light elements are slightly enhanced as well as the rare earths. The lithium line at 6707 A is visible. The low metal abundance does not fit into the usual picture of a smooth age-metallicity relation in the LMC. It furthermore weakens the significance of globular clusters as tracers of chemical evolution.
