Synopsis:
A reporter in the year 3045 discovers that a recently unearthed mummy is alive and can talk. The mummy tells him a story about the Boy Commandos.

The Commandos go undercover as arab traders in order to infiltrate the Nazi held city of El Akrab. They destroy Nazi equipment and buildings then escape with a group of Nazi tanks.

Using the tanks the Commandos travel to the Sphinx, which the Nazi’s are using. They defeat the Nazi’s there, and Brooklyn and the Boy Commandos hide from the Nazis for a moment inside the tomb with the mummies.

After the mummy has told his story to Casey 39, the reporter tears up his notes, believing people will think him crazy for writing it.
