The Green Hornet Strikes Again!

The Green Hornet Strikes Again! is a 1941 Universal black-and-white 15 chapter movie serial based on The Green Hornet radio series by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker. It is a sequel to Universal's earlier serial The Green Hornet (1940). This was the 117th serial (the 49th with sound) of the 137 that Universal produced. The plot involves racketeering and is unusual for a movie serial by having mostly stand-alone chapters instead of each running into the next; this was also the case for Universal's first Green Hornet serial. Plot Wealthy publisher Britt Reid and his trusted Korean valet and sidekick disguise themselves as the crime fighting vigilantes, The Green Hornet and Kato. Over the course of 15 chapters, they battle the growing power of ruthless crime lord "Boss" Crogan and his varied rackets and henchmen across the city. Unknown to them, Crogan also has strong ties to foreign powers unfriendly to America. Cast Warren Hull as Britt Reid and his alter ego The Green Hornet. Hull replaced Gordon Jones in this role and also provided the voice of the Hornet (instead of radio voice Al Hodge in the original serial). Wade Boteler as Michael Axford, Britt Reid's bodyguard Anne Nagel as Lenore "Casey" Case, Britt Reid's secretary Keye Luke as Kato, the Green Hornet's sidekick Eddie Acuff as Ed Lowery, a reporter Pierre Watkin (listed in the credits as "Pierre Watkins") as Boss Crogan, racketeer James Seay as Bordine, one of Boss Crogan's henchmen Arthur Loft as Tauer, Boss Crogan's chief henchman Joe Devlin as Dolan, one of Boss Crogan's henchmen William Hall as DeLuca, one of Boss Crogan's henchmen Dorothy Lovett as Frances Grayson, an aluminum heiress, and Stella Merja, an actress hired to replace her Chapter titles Source:
