M*A*S*H {MASH}: WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAR (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, Hawkeye writes his last will and testament while offering medical relief to a besieged aid station at the front lines. When B.J. leaves camp to get a haircut, Hawkeye takes his place on this dangerous mission. But when Hawkeye discovers that the persistent shelling at the aid station killed the last doctor, he decides to make out a will. Reminiscing about the antics and tribulations that he has shared with his friends at the 4077th, Pierce bequeaths a token of remembrance upon each of them. Meanwhile, members of the 4077th unit hear rumors about a dead surgeon at the aid station and fear that Hawkeye may have been killed. Commercials deleted.

Cataloging of this progam was made possible by Alan Alda.
