Block's men assume that the Hornet is part of the dealing between the Sister-hood member and the fence and try to kill them all, starting with the fence. In the ensuing chaos, the woman slips out, followed by the Hornet's man, while the Hornet himself deals with the thugs; Kato finds three more Sisters outside, but handles them all; His partner is equally successful; Sirens announce the impending arrival of the authorities, so the masked men depart in the Black Beauty, monitoring the police band as they travel; They hear the women identified, all as supposedly current inmates of the same minimum-security prison; A police contingent, led by Commissioner Hamilton himself, visit the facility to confirm the absences and ask the warden why no escapes had been reported.

Crimes of the Heart; Goaded into it by Paul, Hayashi has a social encounter as disastrous in its own way as Diana Reid's recent ones have been for her; Meanwhile, an old and similarly socially prominent friend of Paul is worried that his sister's betrothed, an Austrian count she met rather recently, is only after her money; Reid Communications sources discover that he has twice been widowed by young wealthy women, but he has told the current woman of these events, and she accepts the official verdicts of no foul play (the second reached with no knowledge of the earlier incident) and his claims of innocence; The brother disappears, prompting Paul to visit the count, who suggests--and she accepts--that he has purposely gone into hiding as "a ploy to disrupt our happiness"; The Green Hornet takes HIS turn, arriving just in time to overhear the count explaining to his large "butler" that Paul's interest and "connections with the media" make disposing of either the nosy brother or the bride herself quite problematical. 36 pages, full color. $1.95.
