Synopsis:
The Boy Commandos receive orders carried by a man named John. They travel with him to the town of Lidice which has been destroyed by the Nazis. The Commandos hoax the enemy troops by making it seem the town is inhabited by ghosts. When forces are pulled away from a nearby prison, the Commandos rescue the women and children held there. John remains behind, while the Commandos return to base. There, they learn that John was not carrying official orders. Further investigation reveals that John was a man from Lidice who was killed when the Nazis took the town. The boys wonder if the mission was led by his ghost.
