Episode 450 – Who Were Those Masked People Anyway? (Green Hornet, Blue Beetle, & Lady in Blue)

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Not all old time radio crimefighters carried badges - or even private eye licenses. Some wore masks in their crusade against evil, and this week we'll hear three of those heroes who waged their wars on crime in disguise. First, <em>The Green Hornet</em> tracks down a gang of swindlers in "Classified Ad" (originally aired on ABC on March 30, 1946). Then, Frank Lovejoy stars as <em>The Blue Beetle</em> in the comic book hero's syndicated adventure "Blasting the Dynamite Ring." Finally, we meet the beautiful <em>Lady in Blue</em>, a wealthy socialite who dons a costume to fight crime in her customized car. Hmm...that sounds familiar. We'll hear the two surviving episodes of her syndicated series.</span></p>
