An acquaintance of hers named Nicky talks her into re-routing a phone call from the intended room to his, claiming it's a gag. However, it's actually part of a gambling swindle. A telephone repairman and lineman named Terry (Pat O'Brien) is sent to the hotel to see if the phone line was tapped, which is the only other way the crooks could have gotten the info. When Terry determines that there was no phone tap, Marie loses her job.Meanwhile, Terry the Casanova has fallen in love with beautiful Marie. He manages to get her a new job, with a businessman named Schuyler who knows Terry.

Lingerie Scene: Terry and his sidekick Johnny are sent out on an installation job. The apartment they arrive at appears to be a brothel, what with the three young and very sexy women that they find in the apartment, wearing skimpy lingerie.

Stock Footage: Some pretty obvious stock footage of a building on fire for the scene where Terry is dispatched to cut the phone lines to a building that's burning down.

comment
Phony Psychic: Terry and Johnny are called out to remove an illegally installed phone connection. They find it belongs to "Madame Francis" (her real name is Bonnie), a hilariously phony medium who has that connection hooked up to a speaker and uses it to fake voices from beyond the grave. Terry hooks into the phone line and tells everyone there that Madame Francis is a con artist and they're "saps."

Creative Closing Credits: Opening credits. Warner Brothers in this era almost always used Video Credits for the opening titles. In this film, which focuses on telephone operators and repairmen, the video credits appear on the dial of a giant phone.

Uncle Tomfoolery: A little racist humor focuses on Crystal, one of Madame Francis's minions, who is black. Crystal is supposed to be imitating the voice of a middle-aged white woman but she can't stop herself from saying "How is you, child?"
