This episode focuses on two things. When Klinger tries to help a young Korean woman who is trying to prostitute herself, there is a misunderstanding and he is seen as taking advantage of her. The mother chases him with a broom and then with a pitchfork, even though he is innocent. The larger plot involves the death of a soldier who has a money belt with over 8000 dollars in it. He has a baby face but is a known loan shark and black marketeer. Hawkeye promised him when he was brought in that he would make sure the money got to his family. He writes a nondescript double talking letter to them. Returning to the young woman Klinger tried to help. They have lost a father and a brother to the war and have been bombed out several times. They don't have money to move to Poussan, a safe harbor for them.
