Ruth Cutter, a high society newspaper columnist, is awakened by a man entering her bedroom at her Ritz Park apartment. She says "Who's there? How did you get in here?" The man says "Through the door". Ruth says "What do you want?" The man says "I want to talk to you". Ruth says "Get out". The man says "I mean it. I only want to talk to you. Get up out of your bed". Ruth says "I warn you, I have a gun". He says "I don't want to harm you". She says "You've broken in here. Don't Move!" The man says "Oh, you really do have a gun. I think you're afraid. Why would a woman like you have a gun unless you were afraid?". She says "I tell you I'm not afraid". He says "That gun says you are, now give it to me". She says "You're an intruder here. Get out! Please get out! He says "No!". Suddenly, two shots are heard. Ruth picks up the phone and says "Operator, please connect me to the police headquarters.
