- Henry gets his porn films from the Tabasco Film Company in Havana Cuba. Radar wants to watch the films with him. The screening is at midnight at the generator shed.
Trouble at home: Henry's Lorraine might be fooling around (He gets a letter from his wife that gives him permission to fool around with a kind woman, if the need so arises). At first Henry feels he is a luckiest man alive to get such a permission from his wife. But then slowly, he starts reading between the lines and figures that his wife is having a guilt reaction. He figures that Lorraine cheated on him with someone at the the country club. He starts imagining that she took up tennis, as wore short, skinny skirts. She has gorgeous legs. A sailor once followed her 4 blocks on account of those legs. Trapper and Hawkeye tell him to talk to Father Mulcahy.
Father's Sister, Kathy the Nun is thinking of leaving the Order as she wants a family of her own. Henry reaches out to Mulcahy for comfort and they both end up discussing their troubles with each other. Henry gave Lorraine everything, and took care of every member of her family (all freebies). Mulcahy says Kathy was gifted from the start and won a basketball scholarship to the Holy Name Academy. Lorraine can be flirty after a few drinks, while Kathy wants Mulcahy's approval. They both don't know what to say. Henry places a call to his wife (after being encouraged by Trapper and Hawkeye), who confirms that she fooled around Al Franklin, an Orthodontist at the country club and starts crying.
A young Korean was married to a Jewish GI (who is stationed at the front and has requested a circumcision for his young son) has a male child and needs to arrange for her baby's bris (Circumcision). They also need a Jewish Rabbi to read the religious text during the ceremony. Radar is assigned to call all over Korea to find a Military Rabbi to perform the ceremony. Father found a rabbi on the Carrier Essex to help him perform the Jewish ceremony if Hawkeye can do the actual circumcision. Naturally, Frank and Hotlips are both nagging him about "unauthorized and elective surgery." They say the dependent card and the letter from the soldier could be forgeries. Frank and Houlihan warn Hawkeye and Trapper that they will take evidence of them performing an election surgery at the MASH, against regulations.
Trapper and Hawkeye try to find hidden presidents to win a pony. Hawkeye got a picture puzzle in the mail with a promise of a Shetland pony if the contestant identifies 11 US presidents in the pic. They take the puzzle to the x-ray room, examine it under a micro-scope, examine it under surgical lights.. They get to 10.
The Rabbi on the carrier Essex, gives morse code instructions to Radar, who relays them over to Father Mulcahy in surgery. Hawkeye and Trapper perform the surgery and Frank & Margaret take pics as evidence. Trapper and Hawk expose the film after the circumcision and now the duo have no evidence. Mulcahy sees first hand how happy the proud mother is after the ceremony. He wishes the same happiness for Kathy, and gives his consent to her request. Trapper and Hawkeye get all the 11 President and Hawkeye gets to ride the pony.
