Synopsis:
A damaged Nazi fighter plane makes an emergency landing in a field in Scotland. The owner of the land Angus McQuirt is mistaken for Nazi spy Heinrich Ganz. Once the pilot realizes that McQuirt is a double for Ganz, he takes the farmer prisoner. The Nazis plan to kill McQuirt and leave his body for the allies to find. This will make the allies think that the spy is dead. However, the Commandos attack, preventing the Nazis from carrying out their plan.

When the Commandos find McQuirt, Rip Carter recognizes him as Ganz. The farmer is taken in to custody, and his execution is planned. McQuirt protests. Only the Boy Commandos believe him. They track down and capture the real Ganz, and succeed in clearing McQuirt. When Angus returns home, he tells his wife that he is enlisting and joining the war effort.
