Description

"Quick-Quick Slow Death"
by Robert Banks Stewart

A man pushing a pram through heavy traffic stops to make a 'phone call, then is aghast to see the pram start rolling away - he chases it but after a contretemps with a sports car it's upturned, and a man's corpse rolls out.
The Avengers arrive to interrogate the man, an enemy agent called Fehr, but he won't talk. They trace the man, courtesy of a tattoo on his wrist and the suit he'd hired, but the menswear hire assistant and the tattooist are quickly killed by the villains. Nonetheless, the trail leads to a dance studio and Mrs Peel gets herself hired as an instructress.

Steed realises that he studio is used as a means of acquiring identities for infiltrating agents - they dispose of dance students that have no family or friends and replace them with similar-looking sleepers.

Reeling around the ballroom, the Avengers manage to thwart their plan to replace Steed with one of their own, and close down the operations of the studio staff.
The Avengers dance away into the darkness as the lights go down...
