Oil tycoon Tex Thomson has made a name for himself in New York working with the district attorney to bust up the gangs and rackets. In late 1940, Tex leaves New York on a ship bound for Europe in the cause of war relief. When the ship is sunk by saboteurs, Tex is presumed dead.

Back in New York, Tex's old friends Bob Daley and D.A. Maloney are surprised when a costumed vigilante named Mr. America begins stopping Nazi saboteurs. Bob eventually learns that Mr. America is Tex who survived the attack at sea. He then joins his friend as a costumed partner named Fatman.

Months later after America officially enters the war, Mr. America is covertly summoned to meet with President Roosevelt. Tex agrees to take part in a mission in Europe. He receives special training, then bids adieu to his All-Star Squadron teammates. He reaches London where Tex receives orders to go behind enemy lines disguises as S.S. officer Otto Riker. Tex continues to fight the war as Americommando.
