Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Several different subplots are followed in parallel development in this episode. Frank Burns (Larry Linville) wants to make a profit by selling the 4077's garbage, at least before the Koreans have made off with the refuse themselves. Meanwhile, Hawkeye (Alan Alda) clashes with a wounded colonel (Kevin Hagen), a demands that dead bodies be retrieved from the battle field--and never mind that this action will result in even more fatalities. Ultimately, Frank's problem becomes Hawkeye's solution.
