In the sequel to "Hot Snow," Steed convinces Dr. Keel to become a member of Ronnie Vance's gang. Himself having become a member of a rival gang, Steed arranges for a police raid to convince Vance that Keel is crooked. Keel learns that a member of the rival gang is going to murder Vance and his brother, but when Keel advises Steed of this, Vance figures out that there are traitors in both gangs. The police arrive to find one of Vance's men, who was sent to kill Steed, held captive by Keel with a hypodermic needle. Threatened with instant death by injection (a bluff), the man confesses to the murder of Keel's fiancée. Steed then enlists Keel as his permanent partner.
