41. For Want of a Boot (K-417)
January 12, 1974
Written by Sheldon Keller
Directed by Don Weis
Guest Stars: Michael Lerner, Suzanne Zenor, Johnny Kaymer
A riotous episode in which Hawkeye will do anything to get a new pair of
boots. In order to get Zale to get him some, he must get an appointment for
Zale with Futterman, the camp dentist, who will only do it if Henry will give
him a pass to Tokyo, and Henry will only grant the pass if Houlihan will get
off his back, which she will do only if the guys throw a party for Frank's
birthday with a cake, and Radar will only help get the cake if he gets a date
with Nurse Murphy, who will only date someone with a hair dryer, and Klinger
won't give up the hair dryer unless he gets a section 8 (and Frank won't sign).
The deal falls through, much to the chagrin of Hawkeye.

communist.
