Britt told Tracy why the Green Hornet chased Topper to Tracy’s city. Topper wanted to have the Apparatus take out the Hornet. The Hornet removes Topper, Tracy takes credit for that, the Apparatus isn’t going to mess with the Hornet. Mission accomplished.
No three weeks not three days. I do admit there is filler here (old movies,‘Red Wasp’, Chief Patton’s contact, ) this needed three solid weeks to cover the actual story.
OK, the Hornet had Casey drive a spare Black Beauty in his city to provide misdirection for Dick Tracy. Fine, but is he staying in Tracy’s city, or he does just need more time to get his home city? Hornet himself states here that Tracy may catch him eventually.
Despite a few missteps (‘Red Wasp’, silly fight words), this was a very fine story-line. The resolution was the only way this could have ended. Those expecting something else are not paying attention. At all.
I was about to say … wouldn’t getting hit in the mouth by Sawtooth require a trip to the hospital?
