What happens

Perry's assistant Jack and Reid's valet Kato each take their own steps, as Perry sets a trap with a tip about a roadhouse robbery. The Green Hornet series is an American radio adventure, and this episode aired on December 26, 1944.

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.
