Deadline at Dawn

Late at night, two Midwesteners living in New York decide to cover up a theft one of them committed just hours earlier, before skipping town on the next bus at dawn. Their plan is derailed when they find a newly placed dead body at the scene and must race against time to find the real murderer or be suspected of the crime themselves.
