Transcript

The Green Hornet. He hunts the biggest of all game. Public enemies who try to destroy our America. With his faithful valed Cato, Britt Reid, daring young publisher, matches wits with the underworld, risking his life that criminals and racketeers within the law may feel its weight by the sting of the Green Hornet.

Ride with Britt Reid in the throwing adventure, almost used cars. The Green Hollet strikes again! New car, 100 to choose from. All makes and models, immediate delivery.

No trade-in necessary. Lenore Case, Britt Reid Secretary, turns from her typewriter with a sigh. It was no use trying to work while Michael Oxford was in the office. Oh, talk, talk! Oh, Michael, you're worse than a magpie.

Can't you read the newspaper without having so much to say? But, Cassie, this guy chipped up Charlie. Look at this ad he's got for almost used cars. Almost used cars. Yeah, they're brand new. Only chipped up Charlie's used car dealer.

He can't sell news cars, so he calls him used. I see. Instead of being almost new, they're almost used. Ha! That's a fancy kind of double talk. That's the idea. Well, there's your chance, Michael.

Why did you go and get one? For me? What's the matter with my car? Oh, nothing, Micah. Nothing at all, but... Well, I should think you'd like to get a later model. One with a self-starter and doors on the front seat.

No, see, your case, your own shield-wiper would help, too. I got all them things. My car's not that old, and you'll not. And once more, I'd sooner drive it for another 12 years and pay those jip prices.
