Alibi

A hair-curling thriller vibrant with the pulse of the underworld, asparkle with the glamour of the New York night clubs.

A taut 1920s crime thriller centered on a gangster's manipulation of an innocent woman to cover a murder, driven by procedural tension and underworld intrigue.

Chick Williams, a prohibition gangster, rejoins his mob soon after being released from prison. When a policeman is murdered during a robbery, he falls under suspicion. The gangster took Joan, a policeman's daughter, to the theater, sneaked out during the intermission to commit the crime, then used her to support his alibi. The detective squad employs its most sophisticated and barbaric techniques, including planting an undercover agent in the gang, to bring him to justice.
