PlotAn interior decorator shares a party line with a womanizing composer, which leads to frequent bickering over the phone. She is frustrated by his constant use of their shared line for romantic dalliances, while he is annoyed by her complaints. Despite their mutual annoyance, they have never met in person. The decorator vents her frustrations to a friend. Meanwhile, the composer boasts about his conquests, unaware that his charming persona infuriates his unseen neighbor on the other end of the line.
Their lives intersect when the composer, intrigued by the decorator's voice and unaware of her identity, contrives a plan to meet her. He adopts a fake persona of a polite and unassuming Texan to charm her in person, seeking to win her over. As their interactions progress, the facade challenges their initial perceptions of each other, setting off a chain of events influenced by mistaken identities and comedic misunderstandings. Their evolving relationship is complicated further by the involvement of mutual acquaintances, creating a dynamic blend of romance and humor.
