What happens
Publisher Britt Reid, secretly the Green Hornet, and his valet Kato investigate the murder of Judge Burnley, who was leading an inquiry into two city officials, John Webb and George Haven. Webb has apparently shot himself, and Reid suspects he was murdered and the death staged as suicide. Reid discovers a second suicide note and a Green Hornet calling card at the scene, and begins to suspect Haven. Reed and Kato plan a move against Haven, who is wary of the Hornet and setting his own trap. The episode is a radio drama in the Green Hornet series, first broadcast January 22, 1946.
A city in the 1940s, including a newspaper office, Judge Burnley's home, Webb's study, and George Haven's luxurious home office.
Characters: Britt Reid, Kato, Mr. Gunnegan, Haven, Judge Burnley, John Webb, Miss Case, Miss Pete
Listen for: Reid's deduction that Webb was murdered and that the suicide was staged, and the trap set at Haven's house.
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.
