    Mrs. Stevenson calls the operator in a panic after overhearing a murder plot on a wrong number call. She insists the operator redial the number so they can trace the call and stop the murder, but the operator is confused and hesitant. Mrs. Stevenson grows impatient and demands the operator redial the number carelessly so she can reconnect and get more information to prevent the murder. The operator reluctantly agrees to try redialing the number.
