What happens
Britt Reid, a young newspaper publisher, becomes involved when Lieutenant John Duncan, a decorated war hero about to receive the Congressional Medal, asks for help finding his missing father. The search leads Britt and his valet Cato to a shabby apartment and a drunken man who claims to have been framed. Britt suspects the man may be connected to criminals and sets out to look into the situation before the lieutenant must leave for Washington. The story is part of The Green Hornet series, which aired on August 30, 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.
