Don Strachey is the gay private eye who scored a hit in Stevenson's thriller, On the Other Hand, Death. A case of murder keeps Strachey and his lover, Timmy Callahan, at home in Albany during a fierce winter because the victim was planted in the detective's car. The dead man, Jack Lenihan, had left a letter in which he asked Strachey to deliver 2.5 million in laundered money to the city's reform political party. But the money has vanished, sending Strachey on a dangerous errand to recover it from merciless killers. Suspecting that Lenihan had stolen the fortune from the drug dealers who were his former associates, Strachey flies to Los Angeles to question Lenihan's mother and friends, a mission with stunning results. Back in Albany, the detective hijacks the millions but the thieves kidnap and hold Timmy for ransom, a situation Strachey resolves in an act daring to the point of foolhardiness. This scene, as well as the disposition of Lenihan's legacy, form the climax of an entirely unpredictable, witty and raunchy adventure.

QAF中文站小强翻译剧情介绍：
电影版同志侦探系列的第4部，以下内容摘自《出版家周刊》：
“Donald Strachey”是美国作家Richard Stevenson同志侦探小说系列的男主角。原作中第4、5、2部，即Third Man Out (1992)、A Shock to the System (1995)、On the Other Hand, Death (1984) 等已先后由美国著名同志电视台Here!TV改编成电影，今次轮到这第3部上场：Ice Blues (1986)（电影版是第4部）。
剧情简介：
在一个酷寒难耐的冬季，Strachey跟爱人Timmy Callahan因为一件惨烈的谋杀案而不得不留在奥尔巴尼的家（Albany，美国纽约州州城）。凶手将被害人的尸体搁置在侦探车上。死者名叫Jack Lenihan，遇害前给Strachey留下一封信，叫他将250万赃款转交给市改革政党。但这笔款项神秘失踪，使得Strachey冒险与凶残杀手打交道。怀疑Lenihan从毒贩手中偷走款项，而这些毒贩曾和死者生前共事过。Strachey飞往洛杉矶，询问Lenihan的母亲跟友人，结果出乎意料。回到Albany后，咱们的侦探先生扣留了这笔赃款，可是暴徒绑架了Timmy以求赎金。此情形使得Strachey 甘愿冒着极大风险而临危不惧。这一情节以及后来Lenihan 所留财物的处置齐齐构成了片子的高潮部分。完全叫人出乎意料，但又是诙谐跟淫荡的冒险。
小强的话：
个人感觉电影版的第3部On the Other Hand, Death拍得实在有欠原著小说的精髓。不知这第4部电影会怎样。但愿是给观众惊喜啰。
