Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Alibi is a 1929 film directed by Roland West, starring Chester Morris and Eleanore Griffith.Chick Williams (Morris) is a gangster who has just been sprung from prison. Chick insist that he was framed. Among the people who believe him is his girlfriend Joan Manning (Griffith), daughter of police captain Pete Manning, who is enraged at the idea of his daughter dating an ex-con. Joan thinks the local cops are corrupt, and has rejected the attentions of her suitor, clean-cut cop Tommy Glennon. When the cops try to pin the murder of a security guard during a warehouse robbery on Chick, Joan says that he was with her watching a show at a theater—and also that they are married.What Joan doesn't know is that Chick actually is guilty of the robbery and murder, having ducked out of the theater during an intermission. The police continue to investigate Chick, inserting into his social one Danny McGann, who goes undercover as drunken stockbroker "Billy Morgan" and gains Chick's confidence.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Dirty Coward: When Tommy pulls out a gun and says he's going to murder Chick, the formerly tough-guy gangster breaks down, getting on his hands and knees and begging and pleading, as well as offering to give up Joan. | |

| Alibi (1929) / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Joan rejects squeaky-clean Tommy and instead falls for Chick the ex-con, although at least part of the reason is her disgust at how the police in the town operate. | |
