The 4077th is asked to participate in a documentary film called "Yankee Doodle Doctor," which has been commissioned by General Clayton to show the diligent surgeons at work. Lt. Dwayne Bricker, a movie director in uniform, gets in the way of the real life surgeons and they rebel. Hawkeye and Trapper decide that what they have done, at Bricker's insistence, before his cameras is pretentious and untrue. They expose most of his footage, and Bricker leaves the camp in a huff after refusing to shoot anymore footage of Hawkeye. Blake doesn't want his outfit marked as uncooperative. Therefore, Hawkeye decides to make his own film using Bricker's equipment and cameraman. The new version of "Yankee Doodle Doctor" is full of Hawkeye's antics. Then there's a serious talk detailing the reality about battle injuries. Everything they do is not enough because guns have more power to take life than surgeons have to preserve it. The film causes some flack, but Hawkeye dreams of future acting triumphs.
