Biography
Scanlon is a highly corrupt district attorney who becomes fearful of the power of the Green Hornet (the superhero alias of Britt Reid), whom the public widely deems as a criminal. Knowing that his reputation would be greatly damaged if he fails to stop the Green Hornet, Scanlon becomes determined to bring him down and even teams up with the Russian mobster Benjamin Chudnofsky. Britt learns that Scanlon had attempted to bribe his later father, James Reid (a wealthy newspaper publisher and founder of the Daily Sentinel), into downplaying the city's level of crime in order to help his career - when he refused, Scanlon murdered him with a drug injection. Britt tries to record Scanlon's confession but fails.

During the climax, Britt and his partner Kato take on Chudnofsky and his men at the Daily Sentinel as well as Scanlon himself. After killing Chudnofsky, Britt and Kato drive their nearly demolished Black Beauty into Scanlon and ram him through the tenth-floor window, sending him and the vehicle crashing to the ground a long way below.
