A storm has hit town and the phone won’t stop ringing. Miss Keene doesn’t know what to do, as the voice on the other end isn’t recognizable. First she can’t make out anything, then only a faint hello, then only a few words here and there. But then the phone company traces the call and realizes that there’s no way that the call can be coming from there. The line is down, all right, but the line is in the cemetary!
So Miss Keene goes to the cemetary and finds the line on the grave of her former fiancee, who died in a car crash when she insisted she would drive. She frantically goes home to try and talk to him, only to find he won’t talk, because she told him to go away and leave her alone, and he always does what she tells him - that is why he is dead, after all.
