Newspaper editor Britt Reid has a secret that only a couple of close confidantes know -- when crime strikes, he becomes Green Hornet, a crime-fighting superhero. "Green Hornet," based on comic books of the same name, lasted for only one season on ABC, but it had a significant impact on American entertainment. The show introduced martial artist Bruce Lee to American audiences. Lee, who starred in the series as Green Hornet's sidekick, Kato, would go on to become arguably the most-famous actor in martial arts films in America.

Dave Bannister is shot at a funeral with 20 witnesses and not a shot was heard. A messenger from a brokerage house, carrying $5,000 in negotiable bonds, is the silent gun's second victim. The Green Hornet and Kato track down the person responsible.

After Joe Sweek is murdered by a hood swinging from a rope in a nearby warehouse, the Green Hornet plans an unscheduled visit to racketeer boss Alex Colony to propose a partnership with him in his "accident" racket.
