Bells Are Ringing
Ella Peterson works in the basement office of Susanswerphone, a telephone answering service. She eavesdrops on other people's lives and injects color into her own dull routine by adopting distinct identities for her clients. They include an out-of-work Method actor, a dentist with musical yearnings, and in particular playwright Jeffrey Moss, who is suffering from writer's block and desperately needs a muse.
