The Green Hornet. He hunts the biggest of all game, public enemies that even the G-men cannot reach. The Green Hornet. faithful valid Cato, Britt Reid, daring young publisher, matches with the underworld. Risking his life, the criminals and blacketeers within the law may feel it's weight by the sting of the Green Hornet.

Ride with Britt Reid as he races toward another thrilling adventure. The Green Hornet strikes again. Hurry, Kato, we're about to blow the building rack. Sky high! Nice job, it's orders. Hey, he's calling his man. I'm a no-working.

You bet. We're taking an awful chance, Pelton. You've got what he finds out about this. You've tricked me. Look out, it's a bomb! Can I come in? It's Mr. Fletcher. Oh, it's you, dear. Why aren't you home?

I'm a builder, honey. I've got a dozen houses here that must go up. But you're not a watchman. Well, look at me. Has anything else happened? Anything else? What do you mean, Ho? Please don't.

I'm your wife. You can't fool me with talk. Yes, the watchman did quit. Because of Kalati? What's Kalati got to do with him? It is Kalati, isn't it? Now look, honey. Building's a man's job.

He's been threatening your husband. Just talk. He has, I know it. No racketeer can bust me. So, that's it. I suspected it when one of your houses caught on fire. I can't prove with Kalati.

Tell me. What's Kalati after? What's he doing? What's he after? He's a racketeer isn't he? He's trying to force builders to pay out money to him. Is that why you had that, Pia? Because you wouldn't pay?

I'm not going to pay. But the other builders, what about them? They're paying him. They're afraid of him. Afraid to talk. I... I'm afraid to. Ah, don't you worry. Galati's tough at the cops will get him.
