The Green Hornet #39

Continued from last issue: As Mei Li is about to finish off the Crimson Wasp, the Green Hornet and his assistant intrude, with Kato throwing two darts into Li's claw that, much to her surprise, deactivate it. As the masked men battle the tong warriors, the two women's fight carries them away from the others. An electrical blast from the claw causes the Wasp to fall into the tiger pen, and to seeming certain death (would Mishi really sacrifice her own life rather than kill the zoo's property with her sword, as she easily did Mei Li's pet/guard-attack tiger in their original encounter?), but a pony-tailed young man garbed identically to Kato swings over the pen on a line, grabs the Wasp and pulls her to safety! The mask notwithstanding, she immediately recognizes her nephew Kono, sends him to help their kinsman and the Hornet while she goes after the villainess, assuring the other she won't underestimate that claw again. The tong warriors have their special weapons deflected toward each other and are defeated. The Wasp does indeed overcome her adversary, but the image of her father causes her to spare the other woman and release her. While the masked heroes compare notes--Kono says that he has been sent to replace his uncle behind the mask permanently, even though Hayashi hadn't told anyone about his plans to stop vigilante work on a fulltime basis once he and Diana marry--the Daughter of the Dragon collects her fallen men and departs.
