What happens

Lorry watches Mercer's dramatic dive from the airfield, then rides with the pilot back toward town. On the road, a car bearing men posing as police forces them to stop, and Lorry is knocked out. The Green Hornet, Britt Reid and his valet Kato, take up the matter, and Lorry is later drawn into a plan to lure the kidnappers out. Original air date: August 8, 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.
