M*A*S*H - Back Pay

Air Date/Released Monday, March 10, 1980
Station/Studio CBS / 20th Century Fox

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.

Hawkeye is enraged by the fees that stateside doctors are charging the military, so he decides to bill the Army for his past medical services. The Army is not amused and sends a criminal investigator, who only serves to turn Dr. Pierce into Don Quixote Pierce. Meanwhile, the arrival of three South Korean doctors finds Winchester reluctantly assigned to give them a course in western surgical and medical techniques. Winchester's superior attitude awards the three guests the names of "Moe, Larry and Curly," but when a recurring medical problem returns, Charles learns the three Koreans may not be the "Stooges" he assumed.


Guest star Richard Herd worked with the Stooges at 1964's Wisconsin State Fair.
