Green Hornet

The other night while we were watching a Batman movie Wuggie Norple said "The more I know about heroes, the more I like them." So the last time I was at the library I got a set of the Green Hornet radio broadcasts. Yesterday on the way to church (our 50 minute commute) I put them on.

Here's the plot summary of episode one:
The city council passes an appropriation bill
The bad guy (Oily Slick) sells options on a property not really under consideration by the Council.
The newspaper editor (the daylight alter ego of the Green Hornet), learning of the scam, calls the city council and recommends they consider the property in question.
The Con man, realizing he cannot honor all the options he has sold, returns the money.
Now the action starts. The Green Hornet changes into his costume, visits the members of the sub-committee convened to purchase land using the new appropriations and strongly encourages them to buy the property in question. They, hating the Green Hornet, vote against it.

Wow! All the heart stopping action of appropriations, real estate options, and committee politics.

Wuggie says quietly from the back seat "There's not really a lot of action..."

I guess the definition of "Action" has changed a lot since 1936.
