Publisher's summary

He hunts the biggest of all game! Public enemies who try to destroy our America!

Britt Reid, millionaire bachelor and manager of his father's powerful newspaper, donned a disguise to smash rackets and expose crooks, spies and saboteurs who had managed to evade the long arm of the law. With his faithful sidekick Kato lurking in the shadows, a gas gun in his hand, a mask upon his face and The Black Beauty in the garage, he became The Green Hornet! Both police and the underworld sought this mysterious figure - the former to face trial for alleged crimes, and the latter to avenge the many defeats suffered at his hands.

This collection features many broadcasts that have never before been available to the public. Heard for the first time since their original broadcast in 1944, you now have an opportunity to listen to these thrilling "lost" adventures of The Green Hornet!

Another Good One

Radio is a lost art. This is a good way to know what we missed back then and a little history at the same time. Loved it.
