Synopsis:
The Boy Commandos are asked to perform in a movie being filmed in London. On the set, Alfy receives a letter from his aunt telling him that he has been accepted at Oxford University. Though Alfy doesn't want to leave the Commandos, his teammates convince him to go get his education.

The Commandos then finish shooting their movie. However, a gang of jewel thieves attempts to steal the crown jewels. A young rodeo performer named Tex assists the Commandos in apprehending the crooks. With Alfy gone, the Commandos accept Tex as a new teammate.
