Cody was a civilian researcher with a large staff of employees and a laboratory. When strategic targets in the United States start getting wiped out, Cody discovers that the threat is on the moon. He takes his rocket powered suit and rocket ship there and confronts Retik, leader of the Moon Men. After many improbable adventures, he eventually thwarts Retik's plans to conquer Earth.

* This lead character renaming happened after the footage was shot for the first three episodes of Republic's proposed science fiction syndicated television series, ''Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe''. This was first released (for contractual reasons) to movie theaters instead of TV. Republic, meanwhile, released both of the "rocket man" serials during 1953.
* Commando Cody serials are sometimes confused with King of the Rocket Men (1949), because the rocket-powered flying suit and helmet costume worn by the title character, Jeff King, was recycled to become the flying suit worn by Cody. To add to the confusion, serial hero Larry Martin, who started out to be Commando Cody, wore the same costume again in Zombies of the Stratosphere.
* During the Clone Wars of Star Wars, a clone trooper named Commander Cody serves under Jedi general Obi-Wan Kenobi. This character—complete with rocket backpack—was named after Commando Cody, an homage by Star Wars creator George Lucas to the serials of his youth.
