The personnel at the 4077 MASH unit deal with the horrors of the Korean War and the stresses faced in surgery by whatever means.

Daniel Carr (Dominick Shaw) was sure his life could not get worse. After all, he was in a dead-end job; his wife's real estate business was non-existent; they argued constantly and the one thing that everyone told him would be the answer to all of his problems, he could not do. His late father bequeathed him a valuable piece of commercial property while making him promise to not sell it until the time was right....but his father gave him no clue as to when that time might be. Then his life did get worse. He lost his job, prompting his wife to decide she could no longer handle the pressures of their marriage. But, a chance meeting with a local pastor (Gary Burghoff) convinces Daniel he must be obedient to God's plan for his life. The result of that obedience proves that God's plan is our purpose.
