Synopsis:
An escaped chimp sneaks into a building and steals some stolen plans from two Nazi spies. The Boy Commandos and the spies try to retrieve the papers from the chimp, but the chimp continues to befuddle them. Finally one of the spies manages to retrieve the plans and return to his hide-out. The Commandos realize what was in the stolen documents and are disheartened. However the chimp leads them back to the spy nest, where he helps the Commandos retrieve the plans and capture the spies.
