#2

Synopsis

Between the Black Beauty's super-tough body and its smoke-screen and oil-slick facilities, the Green Hornet and Kato manage to escape Commissioner Hamilton's police roadblock-trap, but the Hornet still decides that less conspicuous transportation is needed. At a high-level meeting of city law enforcement officials the next morning, Hamilton reveals to Diana a strong fix on and a closed mind about the Green Hornet. A very different meeting has Johnny Dollar amused over the Hornet's difficulties. The Crimson Wasp rousts the city's dives searching for Dollar. Another night, the Hornet and Kato use a similar technique looking for a lead on the true killers of the Guilders and their customers, eventually finding a high class but illegal casino. One man behind the Hornet pulls a pistol, but the Wasp suddenly appears and kills him. Everyone else either gets incapicated or flees, and the three masked figures have a confab, during which the Wasp tells the Hornet about Dollar, and--by referring to Kato as "Big Brother"--her true identity. Dollar and Don Phillipe restate their arrangements, and the latter lures the Hornet and Kato into a trap....
