La última coartada (1954)
Interrogado como sospechoso de asesinato, un respetable (pero borracho) ciudadano, Al Willis, ataca a sus interrogadores de la policía, es golpeado, y jura venganza contra ellos. A la noche siguiente, el teniente Parks es asesinado. Willis es el único sospechoso a los ojos del duro Jefe Conroy, quien lo persigue tenazmente a pesar de la falta de pruebas. El obsesivo Conroy es despedido por el uso de la fuerza, pero continúa hostigando a Willis, que huye a un pueblo en la frontera con México. Por supuesto, Conroy lo sigue, pero, ¿quién es el loco, Conroy o Willis?
