En la unidad 4077 del Hospital de Cirugía Móvil del Ejército (M.A.S.H) en Corea, dos médicos del ejército llamados Hawkeye Pierce y Trapper John McIntyre reciben en el correo algunas noticias interesantes. Su mozo coreano, Ho-John, fue aceptado en el antiguo colegio de Hawkeye. Hawkeye y Trapper deciden organizar una fiesta llena de música, baile y alcohol para recaudar fondos para el viaje en avión de Ho-John a los EE. UU. Lo consiguen al sortear un pase de fin de semana con una enfermera, el teniente Dish para R&R en Tokio.

"To Market, to Market" es el segundo episodio de M * A * S * H. Se emitió por primera vez el 24 de septiembre de 1972 y se repitió el 29 de abril de 1973. Como muchos otros episodios de M * A * S * H, éste parodia la burocracia del ejército.

Los ladrones sostienen un camión cargado de suministros médicos para el 4077, lo que los hace en una necesidad desesperada de hidrocortisona. En represalia, Hawkeye y Trapper se encuentran con un conocido vendedor negro, con la esperanza de obtener algunos reemplazos. Cuando se dan cuenta de que no tienen nada razonable para comerciar con él, toman medidas drásticas para obtener lo que necesitan.

Trapper y Hawkeye buscan evitar que una nueva enfermera sea transferida por Hot Lips, y compiten por su afecto. Henry Blake, desafiado por otro comandante en un torneo de boxeo, hace que Trapper pelee con un soldado grande e intimidante a cambio de mantener a la enfermera en el 4077. Hawkeye y Ugly John emplean el uso de un guante empapado con éter para asegurar la victoria de Trapper, que impresiona a la enfermera. ¡Los intentos de Margaret y Frank de desarmar el fósforo se colapsan, ya que son aplastados por el boxeador inconsciente!

Frank Burns se queja de la falta de respeto de Hawkeye Pierce ... y Henry nombra al cirujano jefe de Hawkeye, para sorpresa de Burns. El resto del 4077º "corona" a Hawk mientras Frank y Hot Lips se quejan con el general Barker. La visita del general le proporciona una visión de la vida en la 4077a unidad M * A * S * H: travesuras del campamento, un juego de póker y una sesión de cirugía. Esto muestra que M * A * S * H ​​se divierte pero hace el trabajo.

El sargento Baker llega al campamento con su sirvienta. Hawkeye decide encontrar una manera de alejarla de Baker. Intenta ordenarle que la libere, trata de comprarla y luego recurre al engaño en las cartas. Él la libera pero ella no irá, así que trata de enseñarle cómo ser independiente.

El 4077 está designado como el escenario para la realización de una película del ejército en las unidades de Mobile Surgical Hospital Hospital. Hawkeye es elegida como la estrella, mientras que Margaret y Frank componen un guión. The Eye Of The Hawk se opone a la pieza de propaganda que el cineasta Lt. Bricker está produciendo y, después de haber expuesto la película original, vuelve a filmar una nueva a su manera, interpretándose a sí mismo como Groucho Marx-ish Yankee Doodle Doctor y burlándose de glorificar a los médicos. mientras concluye con un discurso bastante serio sobre el infierno de la guerra.

Cuando Henry busca algo de R&R, Hawkeye finge reírse a carcajadas para que Frank le permita a él y a Trapper continuar con algunos R&R.

John Hodges, un piloto de helicóptero conocido como The Cowboy debido a su cinturón de pistolera y su sombrero de vaquero, recibió un golpe en el hombro y llega a la 4077a. Está esperando una carta: está preocupado de que su esposa Jean en casa lo deje por otro hombre ("Probablemente se vaya con un jinete de rodeo; ¡le encanta un sombrero de 10 galones!"). Quiere irse a casa, pero Henry se niega, afirmando que la herida de Cowboy no es lo suficientemente grave como para merecer una multa en Estados Unidos. La mala suerte sigue a Henry Blake como el asiento de sus pantalones: le disparan mientras juega al golf, su jeep sin conductor aplasta su tienda y la letrina explota mientras está adentro. ¡El Cowboy ofrece volar a Henry a Seúl y luego amenaza con echarlo! La carta finalmente llega para Cowboy, asegurando que es amado. Hawkeye y Trapper usan la radio para convencer a The Cowboy de que le perdone la vida a Henry y baje, en lo que tienen éxito.

Henry recibe una citación por el campamento logrando la mejor calificación de eficiencia, y luego el general Hammond lo reasigna a Tokio. Frank luego cambia el campamento para que sea más militar, y confisca los de Hawkeye y Trapper. Usan pases falsos para ir a Tokio para convencer a Henry de regresar y terminar fingiendo que Radar está enfermo.

Una erupción de robos estalla en el campamento. Las piezas que faltan incluyen el marco plateado de Frank, el cepillo para el cabello de Margaret y el reloj Trapper. Se registra el campamento y se encuentra todo en el casillero de Hawkeye. Todos piensan que lo hizo. Hawkeye logra anunciar al campamento que los artículos serán desempolvados por huellas para identificar al verdadero ladrón, y atrapa a Ho-Jon. Necesitaba dinero para traer a su familia del norte y sobornar a los guardias fronterizos.

Hawkeye mueve a un soldado norcoreano herido al Pantano, en lugar de dejar que lo envíen antes de que esté estable. Durante la noche, él y Trapper juegan a Drácula y extraen una pinta de la sangre de Frank. Luego, el soldado contrae hepatitis, por lo que deben examinar a Frank sin que él lo sepa y mantenerlo alejado de Margaret y de los pacientes.

Hawkeye escribe a casa, describiendo la Navidad en Corea: Radar envía un jeep a casa, pieza por pieza; Henry da la conferencia mensual sobre sexo, con la ayuda de la figura A y la figura B; Trampero ayuda a entregar un ternero; Klinger y Frank se pelean, pero el padre Mulcahy suaviza las cosas; Hawkeye y Trapper sabotean la tienda de Margaret; Hawkeye vuela a la línea del frente vestido como Santa, para ayudar a un soldado herido.

Las enfermeras llegan a extremos para encontrar una cita con la enfermera Eddie; no saldrán con nadie hasta que Eddie tenga una cita. Los hombres dibujan popotes, y Hawkeye es el gran perdedor, especialmente después de que Eddie casi lo mata en una escena que se asemeja a los rituales de "apareamiento" de los adolescentes.

Radar recibe una grabación de Dear John desde casa. Hawkeye y Trapper intentan darle una cita, pero fracasan. Radar es llevada por una nueva enfermera en el campamento y le gusta la poesía y la música, por lo que lo entrenan. Margaret quiere detener la relación, por lo que Hawkeye y Trapper se interponen entre ella y Frank hasta que ella cede. "¡Ahhhh, Bach!" Del radar y "Eso es muy significativo", las citas le ganan a la niña.

Hawkeye crea un médico falso, el capitán Jonathan S. Tuttle, para dar suministros a los huérfanos locales. Henry quiere que Tuttle sea el oficial del día, por lo que Hawkeye crea un archivo de personal falso, y todo su pago atrasado se le da al orfanato. ¡Cuando el general Clayton quiere recompensar su generosidad, Hawkeye se ve obligado a inventar una historia sobre Tuttle saltando de un helicóptero sin su paracaídas! ¡Por supuesto, el nuevo amigo de Trapper, el Capitán Murdoch, obtuvo las placas de identificación falsas y el paracaídas ...!

Hawkeye y Trapper operan con un famoso coronel; después de descubrir que es particularmente despiadado al sacrificar a sus hombres, idean un plan para que lo envíen a los Estados Unidos con un poco de ayuda involuntaria de Frank, Margaret y un borracho Henry.

Frank se echa la espalda mientras pasa la noche con Margaret, y termina en tracción. Solicita rápidamente el Corazón Púrpura, después de haber sido 'técnicamente' herido en una unidad de primera línea. Tommy Gillis, un viejo amigo de Hawkeye, está escribiendo un libro sobre la guerra y lo visita. Más tarde, Tommy es llevado al campamento, herido de gravedad, y Hawkeye no puede salvarlo. Un niño de 15 años está en el hospital para que le saquen el apéndice. Se unió para ser un héroe en casa, pero Hawkeye lo envió a casa, dándole el corazón púrpura de Frank.

Una vez más, Hawkeye le escribe a su padre en casa y le cuenta los últimos chismes: el campamento recibe un nuevo cirujano, que resulta ser falso; Hawkeye apuesta que puede caminar desnudo en la tienda de campaña para almorzar, y nadie se dará cuenta; Radar engaña en su examen final de la compañía de diplomas de High School; Margaret rechaza los avances de Franks y se emborracha hasta altas horas de la noche; el campamento tiene una noche sin talento.

El campamento sufre de un fuerte resfriado, a excepción de Hawkeye, que ha recibido algunos juanitos largos de su padre. Se pasan de persona en persona, como un regalo, una apuesta de juego, un intercambio, un soborno, robado, entregado al Padre Mulcahy, quien se los entrega a Henry, quien los devuelve a Hawkeye como agradecimiento por sacar su apéndice.

El campamento se sintoniza con el juego de fútbol Army / Navy, solo para ser bombardeado y tener una bomba sin explotar en el medio del complejo. Suenan tratando de identificar la bomba, y el campamento se prepara para lo peor. Hawkeye y Trapper tienen la tarea de seguir las instrucciones para desarmar la bomba, que está llena de folletos de propaganda de la CIA.

Hawkeye y Frank discuten sobre la capacidad quirúrgica de Frank. Hawkeye realiza una operación difícil y el paciente no se recupera, como debería. Hawkeye comienza a dudar de su habilidad y se muda de The Swamp. Decide abrir de nuevo a sus pacientes y descubre una muesca en el colon que incluso Frank admite que cualquiera podría haberse perdido.

Como de costumbre, el dron normal de abuso verbal de Frank molesta a Ginger, por lo que Hawkeye pone su brazo enyesado mientras duerme. Frank solicita un traslado, y después de que Frank transmite una transmisión y le dice a Margaret que se va, ella decide irse también. Como resultado, el Coronel Blake pone a Hawk y Trap en doble servicio post-operatorio hasta que encuentre reemplazos para Majs. Quemaduras y Houlihan.

Al no querer perder a sus dos amigas favoritas, y ponerse furioso por hacer 2 turnos en O / R, Hawkeye y Trapper traman un plan para evitar que Frank y Hot Lips se vayan. Esa noche, Hawkeye y Trapper fingen haber encontrado oro, dejando que Frank los escuche. Frank luego retira su solicitud cuando cree que ha encontrado oro, aunque la broma está en él cuando encuentra, entre otras cosas, un jeep dorado.

El general Clayton llama para decir que se debe declarar un alto el fuego. El campamento celebra, Klinger regala sus vestidos y los lugareños comienzan a tomar piezas del campamento. Pero Trapper no lo cree. Hawkeye afirma que está casado para evitar las promesas que hizo a varias enfermeras. La fiesta para celebrar el alto el fuego, que nunca tuvo lugar, se ve interrumpida por las heridas entrantes.

El capitán Kaplan será enviado a casa, pero se vuelve paranoico de que algo le suceda antes de irse. Toma el volante del jeep para conducir hasta el propio Kimpo, pero se estrella y termina en yeso. La esposa de Henry está en trabajo de parto y da a luz mientras él hace que Radar llame al hospital cada 5 minutos. Un artista, Jackie Flash, visita el campamento para entretener a las tropas.

Brought on by Frank and Margaret's negative reports, General Clayton assigns a psychiatrist, Captain Hildebrand, to examine the 4077th M*A*S*H unit, to see if it should be disbanded. Henry tells them to be on their best behavior, or else they will be split up. But the 4077th soon begins to act in their traditional, insane ways: the shrink experiences Max Klinger, watches the hijinks of Hawkeye and Trapper John, and witnesses the trysts of Frank and Hot Lips. While Hildebrand confronts the unit on its behaviour, choppers bearing wounded begin to arrive and everyone heads for the OR. The onslaught of casualties shows the 4077th's true side.

An inept North Korean pilot, known as "5 O'Clock Charlie", makes his daily attempt to bomb the ammo dump. Frank puts in a request for an anti-aircraft gun, which is granted when Charlie hits General Clayton's jeep. Frank takes charge of the gun, while Hawkeye and Trapper are determined to prevent him using it, by getting rid of the ammo dump. Frank misses Charlie and destroys the dump.

Radar writes the weekly activity report. Hawkeye operates on a wounded prisoner who grabs a scalpel and attacks the doctors.

Trapper loses a patient who developed complications during the O.R. fracas with the wounded soldier.

Hawkeye and Trapper want the army to admit responsibility for the accidental bombing of a local village. They fill out a report and Major Stoner arrives to investigate, and leaves with all the evidence. When the story is released it claims that the enemy bombed the village, and the army tries to gag the doctors. But, thinking there could be a medal in it for him, Frank has also put a report together, with copies of all the evidence, including shell fragments, so the army comes clean.

Hawkeye has been in non-stop surgery for 3 straight days without sleep, and the wounded keep coming. He decides to find out who started the war, and sends a telegram to Harry S Truman. After listening to some of Frank's rubbish about the North Koreans wanting better plumbing, he tries to send the officers' latrine to the North Koreans with an offer of peace. Trapper finally manages to sedate him. Trapper (about Hawkeye): "I guess he's just unstable. You see, he took this weird oath as a young man, never to just stand by and watch people die."

Hawkeye operates on a 5-year old Korean boy, and Radar can't find his family. Henry plans to send him to the orphanage, and the camp enjoys his company while they can. Trapper decides to adopt him after consulting his wife, and has to rescue him after he wanders into the minefield. Kim's mother turns up at the orphanage looking for him.

Corporal Walker is being sent home, and he wants to marry his Korean girl so she and their baby can return with him. CID sends Lt Willis to investigate, but when he refuses Hawkeye and Trapper frame him. Hawkeye is upset that a nurse he was pursuing does not approve of the marriage between "a gook" and "one of us".

Majors Houlihan and Burns press charges against Colonel Blake to get him arrested and put Frank in charge, and put Hawkeye and trapper under arrest so that they can't help him. Fortunately for Henry, they escape, and with the aid of Meg Cratty come to the rescue.

Hawkeye walks out to into the bush to tend to the wounded soldier.

The camp succumbs to the Asian flu, except for Hawkeye and Margaret, who have to do everything themselves. As the others start to recover, Hawkeye falls ill but he still manages to operate when wounded arrive. Finally the others are well enough for Hawkeye to stop working and rest. He is thanked for his service with a commemorative roll of toilet paper.

Hawkeye and Trapper recover from an all night party. Henry gets a barbecue, and Hawkeye puts in a request for an incubator. The Quartermaster turns him down. They locate a Major with 3 incubators, but he won't let them have one. A Colonel tries to sell them one, and then they get into trouble with a General at a press conference. Finally, Radar trades the barbecue for an incubator.

Hawkeye and Trapper operate on General Mitchell's son, and the General gives them 3 days in Tokyo Henry keeps getting calls from Tokyo about what Hawkeye and Trapper are doing. When they get back to the 4077 Frank asked the general for an officers club for the camp. They plot to allow the enlisted men access to the club, and when the General opens it the rules are bent to give his son access, which Hawkeye exploits to give access to all.

Henry returns from a week in Tokyo, to announce that he is in love with a 20-year old girl called Nancy Sue Parker. She arrives for the weekend, and Henry shows her off. Nancy comes on to Hawkeye while Henry is in surgery. Henry is reminded of his wife back home when Radar places a call for him, and he realises it's his wife he loves.

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). Inevitably, the deal falls through, much to the Hawkeye's chagrin.

Private Baker, who is always going AWOL, is desperate for plastic surgery on his nose.

The supply lines to the camp are cut. Radar, the housing officer, starts doubling people up to save fuel and Klinger is thrown out of the nurse's tent.

Henry, after much debate, agrees to send Hawkeye, Trapper, Frank, Radar, and Klinger into enemy territory. Frank almost botches the swap when he brings a squirt gun to the exchange. Fortunately, the Chinese Dr. Lin Tam has a sense of humor; he went to the University of Illinois, after all.
