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...
