Synopsis:
Alfy returns to the Boy Commandos in time to watch the annual army vs. navy football game. When the game ends in a tie, the boys claim that they could have won the game. Brooklyn and Alfy then join the army, while Tex and Andre join the navy. After a year of hard work and antics, the boys are allowed to participate in the next game. The boys put their strategies to work with Andre and Tex taking an early lead. Brooklyn and Alfy strike back to tie the score. Once again the game ends in a tie. The army and navy commanders deny the boys' request to try again next year, because they don't want another year of hijinks.
