Synopsis:
As Paul Reid has been declared a wanted man by the corrupt city government of Mayor Leon Marshall, he hits the streets as the Green Hornet, albeit using his Uncle Britt's old garb and gear. He soon finds regular police arresting small-time hood Blinky McQuade and the mayor's newly-created special police trying to take him from them, at gunpoint. The Sting eliminates that threat to the men in blue, and the Hornet's charge for his life-saving services is possession of McQuade. The little thug agrees to take a request for a meet to his employer, Boss Snark. Marshall holds a press conference designed to look good to outside authorities. Hayashi is thrown into the same cell as Diana, and they compare notes. The meeting between the Hornet and Snark results in an agreement to bring other racketeers together to fight Marshall. Another meeting, this one of honest citizens against Marshall, is raided by the special police, but as the attendees are being loaded into paddy wagons, they are rescued by a group of armed and masked men, whose leader identifies himself as...the Black Hornet!?!

Notes:
The Hornet carries what looks like the second Hornet's Sting, a sonic weapon, but uses it like his own Sting, a Taser-like electronic stun gun.
The name Blinky McQuade is derived from an old pulp novel series, The Spider. The titular hero, secretly Richard Wentworth, had a third identity, a small-time thug called Blinky McQuade, as whom he occasionally infiltrated the gangs and obtained information.
