While trailing a gang of jewel thieves, Brooklyn disobeys Rip's orders and crashes the car. Tex and Andre are hospitalized with injuries and Rip is prepared to permanently dismiss Brooklyn from the Commandos. Brooklyn begs for another chance. Rip sends him to military school. If he passes, Rip promises to reinstate him.

At military school Brooklyn stays on his best behavior despite a grueling initiation from the other students. Then two crooks, impersonating a teacher and student, arrive at the school. Brooklyn recognizes them, but they are his superiors, so Brooklyn can't speak out. Brooklyn plans to get off the base and contact Rip, but he first he must pass inspection.

The crooks sabotage his inspection, sending Brooklyn into a rage. He starts a riot in the barracks. Brooklyn is brought up for court martial, so he calls Rip to the hearing. Knowing that Rip will identify them, the crooks reveal themselves. Brooklyn stops them and is cleared of all charges. Rip then reinstates him into the Commandos.
