Synopsis
Title: "The Dove Is A Very Gentile Bird" When a party attended by Judge Irwin Hall and his two sons is interrupted by a gang of crooks called the Drop-Outs, Hank Hall becomes the Hawk and tries to stop the robbery. The crooks get away, and Judge Hall declares the Hawk a menace. Hawk escapes before the police arrive and accuses Don of cowardice for not taking action. Hawk continues to hunt for the crooks, but they strike at an art show which Don is attending. Don refuses to resort to violence to stop the crooks, so he decides to take action another way. He remembers that Rita Watkins, one of the party guests, acted like she knew one of the crooks. Don tracks her down and learns where the crooks are hiding. Hawk has already found the crooks' hide-out and is there when Don arrives. Don finally becomes the Dove to help his brother, but he refuses to hit the crooks. Instead he tires them out by dodging their attacks, then entangles them with rope. Hawk and Dove leave the crooks for police and continue their argument of violence vs. non-violence all the way home.
