Members of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital care for the injured during the Korean War and use humor to escape from the horror and depression of the situation. Among the 4077's people are Capts. Benjamin "Hawkeye" Pierce and "Trapper John" McIntire, Majs. Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan and Frank Burns, and Cpl. Walter "Radar" O'Reilly.
Hawkeye wants to heal a wounded Korean woman whom an ROK officer wants to question.
Radar returns from Tokyo to find a new generator for the camp.
Klinger seems to lack Radar's knack for cutting through red tape to get some much-needed supplies for the unit.
Radar's departure leaves everyone depressed.
