Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! is a comedic film from 1966, starring the beloved Bob Hope as a famous movie star named Tom Meade. The film takes place around the chaos that erupts when Meade finds himself stranded at a random house in the middle of the night. After an evening out with his co-star Sybil (played by Phyllis Diller), Meade ends up at a cabin, where he believes he will be having a rendezvous with Sybil. However, after entering, he discovers that he's at the wrong house.

The owner of the home, lovely Elke Sommer (Jenny), is awakened by Meade's arrival and is shocked to see the famous movie star in her bedroom. Despite her initial reservations, she offers him a place to rest and stay for the night, and hilarity ensues.

The next morning, Meade is determined to leave and prepare for an upcoming film shoot. However, his plans are foiled when he discovers that he is not only at the wrong house, but he's also in the wrong town. The cabin he thought he was at is actually in the middle of the forest, and there are no other ways to get out except for a rickety old boat which Tom crashed into a tree getting him stuck right there for some time.

Meanwhile, news of Tom's absence spreads, causing his production team to panic and flooding the town with journalists, paparazzi and fans looking for the missing movie star. Jenny even finds herself being pursued by reporters who believe that she may be hiding him. To make matters worse, Jenny's fiancé, a jealous and hot-tempered musician, returns home early and discovers Tom in their cabin.

Thus, Tom finds himself running for his life, while Jenny and her fiancé deal with a slew of misunderstandings and miscommunication about the nature of Tom's presence in their home. Throughout the film, the comedic antics escalate, as the characters find themselves caught up in a series of hilarious antics and zany situations.
