The telephone is ringing in Mr. Wolfe's office. As normal, his assistant, Archie Goodwin answers it and says "Mr. Wolfe's office". A woman with a French accent says "Hello, is this Mr. Wolfe?" Wolfe says "If it's for me, I'm not here". Archie says "What if it's a case? Wolfe says "If it is, tell them no". Archie says "I will not". Wolfe says "Confound you, Archie. Do as I say". Archie gets back on the phone, and the woman asks "Is this Mr. Wolfe's residence?" Archie says "Yes". She asks "Is this Mr. Wolfe?" Archie says "Uh, yes, Mr. Wolfe speaking". She says "Oh, I am in very much trouble. Could I see you please, immediately?" Archie says "Well now, yes. What kind of trouble, Miss?" Wolfe says "Give me that phone, Archie". He says "No. Uh, sorry, I had to turn the radio down. it's too loud, you know". She says "Oh, may I see you right away? I give you 1,000 dollars". Archie says "Oh, yes indeed! Come right over. The address is 601 West 35th Street". She says "I cannot, Mr. Wolfe, I just cannot come there". Archie says "Well, where do you live?" She says "I am staying at the Pol Hotel, Room 304 and ...." Suddenly, Archie hears a gunshot over the phone! He says "Hello ... hello... Boss, that was a shot. I heard a shot and the line clicked off". Wolfe says "Trouble, women are always trouble". Archie says "I'm going over to her hotel and see what goes on". Wolfe says "By all means, Mr. Wolfe". Archie says "Yeah, uh, I'm sorry Mr. Wolfe, but we need the money and this was 1,000 dollars". Wolfe says "If you will excuse me, I have to attend to my orchids". Archie says "Mr. Wolfe, what about the girl and the shot?" Wolfe says "Fascinating, isn't it? You figure it out".
