What happens
Britt Reid, publisher of the Sentinel, learns that racketeer Blicker is extorting parking lot owners in the city, smashing cars and slashing tires when they refuse to pay. Parking lot owner Shafer is pressured to pay, and a second note in the Green Hornet's name arrives at the newspaper, promising to end Blicker's racket. Reid and his valet Kato, the only man who knows his secret identity, work to meet the threat as the situation builds toward a midnight confrontation at Shafer's lot. This episode of The Green Hornet first aired on October 31, 1939.

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.
