Dangerous Number

The story follows Hank Medhill, an artificial silk manufacturer who returns to the U.S. from Japan only to find his former girlfriend, Eleanor Breen, on the brink of marriage. In a bid to win her back, Hank convinces Eleanor to leave her fiancé and marry him. However, they quickly realize that they have no common interests, leading to their separation.

In a twist of fate, Hank decides to randomly pick dates from the phone book, resulting in a series of unpredictable and amusing encounters.
