Two months after last issue: Hayashi and Diana discuss the problems Paul has getting past his ordeal with Johnny Dollar. They agree that Mishi, on the other hand, is handling the news that Dollar is still alive (again) quite well, as she is calmly upgrading systems of the car that has replaced "her" Black Beauty. Britt has been receiving threats due to an editorial exposing the corruption of one Judge Mariotti, and his wife and son are now being included. He asks Paul if the Green Hornet can do anything. His response is to go out...alone! The Hornet demands his cut from the judge, who curses the publisher for tipping him as well as the police to his secret activities, and tells the masked man that he has sent some men to finish him. The Hornet "stings" Mariotti into unconsciousness and hurries to the Reid mansion, but four men are already at work. Britt and Lenore are tied to chairs and Danny is being held by one thug. The Green Hornet crashes through a large window, punching, kicking and again punching out three of the hoods, but the fourth points a gun at young Danny's head. A quickly fired blast from the Sting eliminates that threat, but Paul shrugs away thanks from Britt for his son's life: "I nearly got him killed."
