 An AWOL soldier, Private Nick Gillis, ventures into the 4077th one night with an aim to sneak back home to the states. But, his furious lieutenant and the M.P. s are after him. That s when Father Mulcahy is persuaded to step up and turn the mess tent into a sanctuary, which protects Gillis from the Army...But for how long? Meanwhile, a farmer they have aided is giving the camp a load of eggs. Real ones, not powdered. It sets the camp s mouthes watering. Unfortunately their eating plans are scrambled because the mess tent is being used as a sanctuary, so where will everybody eat their eggs? It s up to B.J. and Hawkeye to solve that one. It won t be too over-easy.
