The Avengers

Season 1, 1961 - Episode 12

Dance with Death

by Peter Ling and Sheilagh Ward

Whilst trying to help Elaine Bateman, one of his patients, Dr Keel is framed for her murder instead. Steed intervenes and real suspicion falls on Elaine's pianist from her Dancing School - Anthony - who is suspected of many murders. He electrocutes his victims in the bath. Yet the Avengers could be too late, since Anthony has eloped with Valerie and her family diamonds. With the taps already on, Steed and Keel rescue Valerie from certain death and restore the stones to her mother.
