Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains spoilers for this episode!

Synopsis: Although he’s wanted as a criminal by the forces of law and order, The Green Hornet, alias Britt Reid (Van Williams), owner-publisher of the Daily Sentinel newspaper, aided inestimably by his faithful high-kicking chauffeur Kato (Bruce Lee), is actually a force for good and the nemesis of the city’s underworld, and in this episode he battles a crooked group of diamond forgers led by the devious Yolanda deLukens (Signe Hasso), who employs a miniature electronic device which has the capacity to compel members of the feline species to commit deadly acts of violence.

Kitty Cameo: Britt Reid tests the transmitter, aiming a high frequency tone at what appears to be his own Siamese cat, which reacts by snarling, then streaking out of the room.

Final Mewsings: Mr. Hornet owes a great big apology to that Siamese cat.
