What happens
Two men in overalls plan a robbery of an armored bank truck on River Road, using a fake city work crew to block its path. Meanwhile, Reed, the young publisher of the Daily Sentinel, is angered by gambling at Norton's roadhouse and goes there to see for himself. The Green Hornet, known to Reed as Britt Reid, and his valet Kato later become involved as the stolen bills begin to surface and Norton comes under pressure from the police and city inspectors. The Green Hornet series is an old-time radio drama, and this episode was first broadcast on October 11, 1945.

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.
