Naked Alibi is a 1954 black-and-white crime drama starring Sterling Hayden, Gloria Grahame and Gene Barry. Portions of the film, considered film noir, were shot in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Police chief Joe Conroy is relieved of his police duties after he accuses a "respected community man" Al Willis of murdering a group of police officers. Despite his lack of authority, Conroy puts so much heat on Willis that the latter, making the excuse to his wife Helen that he needs time to clear his head, skips town for Border City, where he's living a double life as a hoodlum with bar-singer... mistress Marianna , whom he treats abusively. Conroy tails Willis to Border City in Mexico, where he recruits Marianna to his scheme to bring Willis to justice. A climactic cat-and-mouse game ends in a rooftop shootout.
