What happens
The Green Hornet, secretly newspaper publisher Britt Reed, and his valet Kato investigate the murder of Norton at an old boathouse on the waterfront. Norton was suspected of involvement in the disappearance of plans for a valuable anti-atomic bomb project. An anonymous note had summoned the authorities to the boathouse at midnight. Reed and Kato reach the scene first and find Norton stabbed in the back in what had been set up as an office. Reed suspects a trap and later sets out to draw the killers into a meeting. The Daily Sentinel staff argue over the case as the police search for the Hornet, and Reed works to uncover the truth behind the crime. This is the 1945 Christmas Day episode of The Green Hornet.
A waterfront boathouse and the city of a newspaper publishing office, around midnight on a foggy night.

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.
