What happens
The Green Hornet, the crime-fighting alter ego of young publisher Britt Reid, investigates after an adopted French boy named Pierre vanishes from the Phelps household. Pierre, an orphan from the village of Saint-Amand, has been adopted by Milton and Clarissa Phelps, and Britt, with his valet Cato, looks into the boy's disappearance and a newcomer named Lewis Kenton. This 1944 episode of The Green Hornet first aired on April 25, 1944, and the story follows Britt, Cato, reporter Michael Axford and the Phelps family as the mystery develops in the Phelps home and around the 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.
