Synopsis At the Kato family home in Japan, Mishi, with support from her father Ikano and half-brother Hatami, continues to attempt to deal with her emotional fallout from the Johnny Dollar situation. In The City, problems in taking out a pair of thugs called the Tornado Twins have Kato worried about the Hornet's fighting skills, and young Danny and a friend see her dog taken off the street by someone in a private kennel's van. Jotting down the kennel name and license plate number from the vehicle, Danny and the girl then go to his father for help. When the two Reids visit the kennel, vehement denials from the manager lead Britt to suggest to his son a different line of inquiry, a visit from the Green Hornet! As soon as the sun sets, the masked men invade, overhearing the name Hanneford and finding brutal experimentation being performed on various dogs. After eliminating protests from the small staff, they take photographs of the operation and rush them to Britt, who presents them later that very evening as a slide show at a high society gala to honor the contributions to the community made by...Tyler Hanneford! He's ruined, at least in the court of public opinion, and Danny's friend gets her dog back. In Japan, Hayashi's nephew Kono is proving to be a problem, living the wild life.
