‘MASH’ is an iconic comedy show following the daily lives and hilarious moments of a mobile Army hospital unit during the Korean War. With not much to do, there’s lots of trouble a bored prankster can get into.
As one of the only women in the unit, Margaret, also known as Hot Lips, gets a lot of attention. Her love affair with Major Frank Burns was not a secret around the base.
Margaret and Frank finally get some romantic time alone. So, Hawkeye and Trapper John take the opportunity to remind them they are still surrounded by a bunch of bored Army guys.
When Frank tries to blow out the candle, the flame pops back up. Margaret is dismayed that someone switched the regular candle out with a trick one. Frank assures her everything is okay, and they go to bed.
Their romantic plans are disrupted again when the bed falls from under them due to sawed-off legs. Margaret also discovers someone has put pudding in the pillowcase.
Frustrated, Frank punches the center post of the tent, splitting it in two. The tent collapses around the two of them as Margaret cries out in dismay and Frank rages in irritation.
Hawkeye and Trapper John wish each other goodnight. Another successful mission of pranking Hot Lips and Major Frank was complete. Tomorrow would be another day to get up to mischief.
