This is the first of two stories in this issue. That's a little odd in that the second story gets both additional background material as well as cover emphasis, yet is not the lead-in.
We'll come back to that one later, but for now let's find out about...the case of the parrot!
Lol...Zebra... 😄
Top Sentinel reporter is on his way home one evening when he spots a man in a red cape assaulting someone with a dart gun.
Reid, of course, is very interested in this scoop and directs Axford to pursue it.
As the reporter leaves to investigate further, Kato draws Reid's attention to someone lurking in the shadows across the street. Fearing that Axford may be targeted for his involvement in the recent assault, Reid adopts his Green Hornet persona.
Axford does not recognize the danger. Obsessed with apprehending the Green Hornet, he interferes with the hero's attempts at capturing the dart killer.
The kerfuffle between the three men draws the police.
Kato, naturally does exactly that. From a dark alley, Kato yanks the gas gun from the cop's hand and evades capture as well.
At the Corbett house, Reid appears just in time to save Corbett's daughter from the menace of the dart killer.
The Hornet fights off the dart killer and a number of henchmen. When, again, the police arrive. the red-caped fiend grabs the parrot and leaps out of the window.
It appears like the Hornet might be cooked. The police have him cornered!
But faithful and extremely capable Kato tosses the gas he recovered to Reid through the window. Reid makes the catch. gasses the cops, and the pair beat it, taking Corbett's daughter with them.

They are indeed hiding in that barn. Kato causes a distraction by leaping through a window, the Hornet busts through the front door, and the band of criminals is overcome.
Time to get to the bottom of this...
No, no it does not. And funny that in the end, Corbett was just as big a piece of crap as the dart killer. A thief that stole from a thief.
This was a good showcase for Kato. He spotted the man lying in wait for Axford, he recovered the gas gun, he saved Reid from being shot as they approached the barn, he caused the distraction that enabled the Hornet to bust in..He wasn't in many panels, but he had a massive impact.
