The Green Hornet

Sales Tax Racket

English · Radio

The Green Hornet follows Britt Reid, a newspaper publisher who secretly fights crime as the masked Green Hornet. With his trusted partner Kato at his side, Reid uses the Hornet’s reputation as an outlaw to get close to criminal operations and bring wrongdoers to justice.

The radio series blends crime adventure with undercover intrigue. Episodes center on the Hornet and Kato investigating threats and confronting criminals, while Reid’s public identity and private mission create a steady tension between the world of the newspaper and the dangers of the streets.

Fast-moving and suspenseful, the program pairs masked-hero action with the atmosphere of a crime serial. Its central appeal is the clever double identity: the Green Hornet appears to be a criminal, but his real purpose is to expose crime and protect the public.
