Henry Blake stands on trial for multiple charges made against him and the way he commands MASH 4077. Most of the charges are in fact minor until it is revealed the most major one is lending aid to the enemy, and therefore treason. What seems to be just a hearing to judge whether Henry is a competent commander or not suddenly becomes a verbal struggle for him not to be thrown in the stockade. Or worse....
Hearing of how badly things are going for their commander, Hawkeye and Trapper jump into action to prove all charges are bogus. Unfortunately, a scheming Frank Burns and Margaret Houlihan, wanting control of the camp on a permanent basis, seek to stop them.
