<P> Leona Stevenson ( Barbara Stanwyck ) is the spoiled , bedridden daughter of wealthy businessman James Cotterell ( Ed Begley ) . One day , while listening to what seems to be a crossed telephone connection , she hears two men planning a woman 's murder . The call cuts off without Leona learning very much other than it is scheduled for 11 : 15 p.m. , when a passing train will hide any sounds . She calls the telephone company and the police , but with few concrete details , they can do nothing . Complicating matters , her husband Henry ( Lancaster ) is overdue and their servants have the night off , leaving her all alone in a Manhattan apartment . </P>
