Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Fed up with the irreverence of Hawkeye (Alan Alda) and Trapper (Wayne Rogers), Frank Burns (Larry Linville) and Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan (Loretta Swit) apply for a transfer to another M*A*S*H unit. Unwilling to lose their two favorite patsies, Hawkeye and Trapper hatch a scheme to prevent Frank and Hot Lips from leaving. Before long, the 4077th has succumbed to "gold fever" when our two favorite army doctors pretend to have struck it rich. Its title a reference to The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, "Major Fred C. Dobbs" first aired on March 11, 1973.
