Perennially AWOL Private Baker (Todd Susman) agrees to stay put if Hawkeye (Alan Arkin) and Trapper (Wayne Rogers) can arrange for the sensitive Baker to get a nose job. Hawkeye secures the services of plastic surgeon Maj. Robbins (Stuart Margolin), who agrees to perform the unauthorized operation on one condition -- that he can have access to a sexy nurse whom he describes as "The Barracuda." And there's still one more obstacle to overcome; the good guys will have to keep the rule-bound Frank (Larry Linville) and Margaret (Loretta Swit) in the dark during surgery. "Operation Noselift" originally aired on January 19, 1974.
