The Green Hornet Double Feature (Old Time Radio Crime)

🎙️ Classic Radio Rewind – Episode 74: The Green Hornet’s Double Sting

In this pulse-pounding edition of Classic Radio Rewind, we dig into the buzzing brilliance of The Green Hornet with two back-to-back thrillers that showcase justice at its sharpest.

🕵️‍♂️ First up is "One Too Many Frame-Ups" (1946), where loyal Sentinel reporter Mike Axford is framed for murder. With the law closing in and the evidence stacked against him, Britt Reid dons the mask of the Green Hornet and speeds into action—untangling a sinister plot, clearing Axford’s name, and showing why he’s the most feared vigilante in the underworld.

🕰️ Then, in "When Time Stood Still", industrial sabotage threatens to shut down a critical manufacturing plant, putting workers at risk and profits in peril. The Hornet races against time—literally—to expose a web of greed and manipulation before the factory grinds to a permanent halt.

💥 Featuring explosive intrigue, clever sleuthing, and the unmistakable growl of the Black Beauty, Episode 74 is a must-listen ride into the heart of radio noir. Whether you're a longtime fan or a new recruit to Hornet lore, these stories buzz with bold drama and timeless tension.

Hit play, and let the Green Hornet take the wheel.
