A man is woken during the night by a caller who claims to be the mayor and men are breaking into his home. The caller says he's tried to reach the police but he gets the man instead. The man says he'll phone the police for him but when the police question the mayor it looks like a crank call. The man is contacted by the caller again and he really sounds as though he's being menaced so he contacts the police once more but once again it's a false alarm. The third time the man suggests the police drive to the mayor's house they do arrest thieves outside which leads the man to believe that one of the thieves called him the first two times figuring the cops wouldn't go out there a third time and they could rob the mayor's house. After he gets off the phone with the police his phone rings again and so the man asks which mayor are you? The voice on the other end tells him to never mind as his assailants have broken in. The phone calls have been originating from the moon.
