Pursued by police as a wanted criminal, the masked vigilante Green Hornet is actually Britt Reid, owner and publisher of muckraking journal the
Daily Sentinel. Reids dual identity is known only to his secretary and the city district attorney. The Hornet spends his off hours thwarting criminals
with his Black Beauty, a souped-up crime-fighting vehicle and guns that fire non-lethal knockout gas and steel-piercing stingers. So far as police
are concerned, the Hornet is himself a criminal; this misunderstanding enables Reid to operate outside the law to battle criminals and racketeers
with his faithful valet Kato, the only living person who knows the true identity of the Hornet.
