Synopsis:
The Boy Commandos follow mobster Fancy-Dan Shaney, who is himself in pursuit of a man claiming to be immortal. The trail leads to a small town whose people are garbed in 16th century clothing. The boys learn that a meteor fell into a nearby lake 300 years earlier. The water from the lake made the people immortal.

Brooklyn accidentally drinks some of the water and believes himself to be immortal. He chases Shaney across town, disregarding dangers in his path. Then he learns that he only drank rain water, not lake water. He is not invulnerable. He still risks his life to save the others, who then capture Shaney. The boys leave town with their prisoners in tow. They promise not to reveal the town's existence to the world.
