What happens
The Green Hornet investigates a racket in stolen guns after a Daily Sentinel delivery truck is wrecked on a hill outside the city and its load of firearms is taken. Circulation men Hadley and Jerry report the crash to publisher Reed, who sends reporter Casey to cover the story. Britt Reid, the Hornet's alter ego, learns that the guns were used in a past murder and sets out to expose the men who are selling them. In the transcript, the Hornet is shown trailing suspects and gathering clues, and the story continues through the gun dealers' efforts to sell their weapons.
A city and its suburbs, including a steep road outside the city, the offices of the Daily Sentinel, police headquarters, and a garage used by gun dealers.
Characters: Britt Reid, Kato, Reed, Hadley, Jerry, Casey, Moran, Axford
Listen for: The truck wreck on the hill and the discovery that the guns recovered had been used in a murder, which links the gun racket to police channels.
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.
