The Green Hornet #19

Issue Details

Synopsis

Continued from last issue: Block's men assume that the Hornet is part of the dealing between the Sister-hood member and the fence and try to kill them all, starting with the fence. In the ensuing chaos, the woman slips out, followed by the Hornet's man, while the Hornet himself deals with the thugs. Kato finds three more Sisters outside, but handles them all. His partner is equally successful. Sirens announce the impending arrival of the authorities, so the masked men depart in the Black Beauty, monitoring the police band as they travel. They hear the women identified, all as supposedly current inmates of the same minimum-security prison. A police contingent, led by Commissioner Hamilton himself, visit the facility to confirm the abscences and ask the warden why no escapes had been reported. The lack of communication from the four captives has, however, alerted the rest of the organization, which has indeed taken over the prison, to the probability that they had been captured and therefore identified, so an ambush and withdrawal have been prepared. Thanks to the intervention of the Green Hornet, this fails, except for the fact that Sister "Number One" herself gets away
