Publisher's summary

This episode of The Green Hornet first aired on May 5, 1938.

The Green Hornet debuted on a Detroit station, WXYZ, on January 31, 1936, and later aired on the Mutual and ABC Blue networks until its final broadcast on December 5, 1952. The masked crimefighter was the secret identity of newspaper publisher Britt Reid, who relied on his valet, Kato, and a supercharged roadster, the Black Beauty.

The series was created by the same team that brought The Lone Ranger to the air.

Green Hornet still at large.

A great Green Hornet story. It was like a story out of Mission Impossible. The Hornet makes the bad guy think his boss is trying to kill him, so he will confess to save his own life. Long live the Green Hornet.
