What happens
Britt Reid, a young newspaper publisher, is awakened in the early hours by a call about the suicide of financier James Hartford. Reid, who publishes the Daily Sentinel, writes an editorial about Hartford's death titled Chickens Come Home to Roost. Hartford's angry nephew, Charles, visits the newspaper to protest it. Soon after, a masked killer known as the Claw murders financier Julius Cornwall and sends warning seals to others, and Reid and his valet Kato begin to investigate. This is an episode of The Green Hornet radio series, first broadcast March 18, 1947, with Reid working as the masked crime fighter known as the Green Hornet.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
