What happens
Britt Reid, a daring young publisher known as the Green Hornet, sets out to stop treason in wartime America. Pete Rayder, a loyal aircraft worker, has been convicted of treason after his German-born brother Carl, a captured Luftwaffe flyer, implicated him. Reporter Larry Ed works the courthouse story for the Daily Sentinel, where city editor Gunnegan presses for copy. The Green Hornet, aided by his valet Cato, plans a bold operation to free Carl and expose his activities. The episode is part of The Green Hornet radio series, first broadcast on September 26, 1943.

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.
