Radar has equipped himself with a mule and shovel to prospect for gold when he learns that Korea is one of the major gold bearing countries in the world. When Frank tells Hawkeye and Trapper he's leaving they play the tape, which goes out over the camp public address. Hot Lips, publicly humiliated, plans to leave too.
