In the 1950 - 1953 Korean War, the doctors, nurses and staff of the 4077 M*A*S*H, 3 miles from the front, maintain sanity between grueling surgical emergencies with humor, hijinks and personal relationships.
After a midnight shift in post op, Maj. Houlihan rushes to the local village to help a pregnant woman with a difficult delivery. Klinger forgets to deliver the message and the staff thinks that she’s missing, possibly abducted by the Chinese. A call to Intelligence results in a visit from ultra-paranoid CIA operative Col. Flagg. Arriving in Col. Potter’s office, a disguised Flagg states...
Flagg: Don’t try to be funny with me Colonel. I’ve trained myself not to laugh or smile.
Potter: Really?
Flagg: Watched 100 hours of The Three Stooges. Every time I felt like laughing, I jabbed myself in the stomach with a cattle prod.
Potter: That oughta do it.
