What happens
Alibi is a lost 1931 British mystery detective film directed by Leslie S. Hiscott and starring Austin Trevor, Franklin Dyall, and Elizabeth Allan. It was written by H. Fowler Mear adapted from the 1928 play Alibi by Michael Morton, which was in turn based on the 1926 Agatha Christie novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. It was the first of three Poirot adaptations made by Twickenham Film Studios in the 1930s, followed by Black Coffee the same year, and Lord Edgware Dies (1934), all starring Trevor as Poirot.
