M*A*S*H {MASH}: C*A*V*E {CAVE} (TV)
Summary
One in this series of comedy programs about the men and women of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (M*A*S*H) stationed behind the lines during the Korean War. In this episode, the 4077th is caught in artillery crossfire and its members are forced to take shelter in a nearby cave. Unfortunately, Hawkeye is claustrophobic. He spends most of his time outside of the cave with Margaret, who attempts to make him feel better by confessing her greatest fear. Then B.J. and Hawkeye realize that one of the wounded is in need of surgery. Hawkeye and Margaret bring the young man back to the deserted 4077th hoping to save his life before the shelling takes their own. Meanwhile, B.J. and Winchester attempt to work together as they care for a soldier with a wounded leg. Commercials deleted.
Cataloging of this program was made possible by Alan Alda.
