What happens
Britt Reid, a daring young publisher, and his assistant Kato hunt for the truth behind a state senate probe of the Bureau of Public Buildings. Senator Banning leads the investigating committee into Commissioner Duncan's office, and the Daily Sentinel's staff follow the story closely. Reid and the Green Hornet pursue the men involved in the contracting dealings, while Banning's sudden change of course raises questions. This is The Green Hornet, an old-time radio series, and the episode The Big Deal, which aired on March 11, 1947. The lead actors are not named in the transcript.
A city construction project and public buildings office, the state Senate chamber, a newspaper city room, and the homes and offices of the characters in a large city.

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.
