...double three (Dean Martin), a playboy playwright. Operator Holliday eventually makes a person-to-person connection, and after several sorts of trouble with the vice squad (the detectives want to know what sort of calls Susanswerphone answers), manages to deliver the message ("I love you") and get a return ring...
