A scientist working in the field of subconscious suggestion is killed,
a short time later a few respectable citizens commit a few weird crimes
they have no need to and no memory of, and newspaper owner/well-known
playboy Britt Reid (Van Williams) receives a phonecall that might tie it
all up. The phonecall leads him to the high-end health club "Palace
of Eden" run by Peter Eden (Geoffrey Horne), who readily gives Britt
and his assistant Casey (Wende Wagner) a tour of his operations - but also
witnesses Britt steals one of his tapes - which include subconscious
suggestions only audible if the tapes are played at an extremely slow
speed. Eden of course finds out Britt has taken the tape and brainwashes
Casey into shooting him - but Britt has somehow anticipated that and
manages to disarm Casey before she can. And since Britt is secretly the
masked superhero-posing-as-supercriminal Green Hornet - with his driver
Kato (Bruce Lee) posing as his masked driver Kato - he soon goes after
Eden, supervillain-like, trying to cut in on his profits, which only leads
Eden to make an attempt on Green Hornet's life using a hot girl (Pamela
Curran) as bait - but since Reid has anticipated that, he has only tricked
Eden into letting his guard down, and while he brainwashes Eden using
Eden's own methods, he spoils Eden's plan to rob the racetrack blind too
... Why this story was spanned over two episodes is a bit
beyond me, because it, to be frank, holds very little surprises: The
baddies are identified early on, their plans are obvious early on, and so
are their means of getting what they want. Sure, the double-episode has
one decent fight scene featuring Bruce Lee to offer, but everaything else
is a bit of the boring (as in foreseeable) variety. Rather lame, actually.
