The Green Hornet was a popular crime-fighter in the 1930s, appearing in various forms of media such as comics, radio dramas, and film serials. The Original Serial version of the show, available on CONtv, was released in 1940 starring Gordon Jones as the lead character, Britt Reid a.k.a. the Green Hornet.

The show begins with Britt Reid, a wealthy newspaper publisher by day, pretending to be a criminal at night with his loyal valet Kato (played by Keye Luke). Together, they pose as underworld figures in order to infiltrate criminal organizations and bring them to justice.

The Green Hornet operates in the crime-ridden city of Center City, where corruption and organized crime syndicates are rampant. Britt Reid, who is dissatisfied with the limitations of his newspaper in fighting crime, creates an alter ego to fight crime from the inside, without the public's knowledge.

The Green Hornet's trademark is his sleek and powerful car, which is equipped with advanced gadgets and weapons that help him on his missions. Kato, who is skilled in martial arts and technology, assists him in their missions.

Throughout the serial, the Green Hornet and Kato tackle various criminal plots, including sabotage and political corruption. They often encounter resistance from corrupt officials and powerful crime bosses, but continue to persist in their mission to bring law and order to Center City.

One notable villain in the show is the infamous gangster Boss Crogan, who runs a powerful criminal empire that the Green Hornet and Kato try to dismantle. The show also features a talented supporting cast including Anne Nagel as the Green Hornet's love interest, Lenore Case, and Wade Boteler as Police Commissioner Jameson, who is often at odds with the Green Hornet's methods but secretly admires his tenacity.

Overall, the Green Hornet is a thrilling serial that combines action, adventure, and detective work in an entertaining and engaging way.
