Synopsis

The new Hornet and Kato roust a dockside bar to put word out on the street that the Green Hornet is back. Meanwhile, a police raid/bust of a narcotics operation goes bad, as the "suspects" are actually lying in wait to shoot the cops, killing three and leaving the other in critical condition. Diana Reid, on her first day back at work after the attack on the Reids' mansion, is certain they were tipped off, and calls in the Hornet. Aside from the victims, only two people knew about the plan, a division captain and a DEA agent on loan from Washington. As the Hornet and Kato prepare to move in and shake up the captain to see how he reacts, three motorcycle-riding thugs force his car off the road and level heavy weapons at him. Continued next issue....

Indexer Notes

Dialogue here strongly implies that Chance and Emery are Jon Allan's sons, but #10, specifying their last name as Jones, contradicts that.
