Der falsche Mann (1956)
Manny Balestrero ist Musiker im New Yorker „Stork Club“. Er und seine Frau Rose stecken in finanziellen Schwierigkeiten. Doch echte Schwierigkeiten gibt es, als Manny eines Tages verhaftet wird. Zeugen behaupten, dass er zahlreiche Überfälle begangen haben soll. Alle Indizien sprechen gegen ihn. Seine Frau bringt Geld für die Kaution auf und Balestro versucht verzweifelt, Zeugen für ein Alibi aufzutreiben. Aber von den drei Männern, mit denen er zur Tatzeit Karten gespielt hat, sind zwei tot – und der dritte ist unauffindbar. Die Situation wird gefährlich für Balestro …
