 This episode begins with a nuclear attack on Neve Shalom, an integrated Jewish-Arab village, and with the trial of Hanukah and Shulman, the principle suspects in the incident. A flashback returns us to the beginning of the story, of the events leading up to the nuclear explosion. It starts with Hanukah and Shulman accused for leaving the missile silo door unlocked (and with the A/C on!), and sentenced to one week of guard-duty in the West Bank. They try various ways to get an exemption through rigged medical evaluations, but quickly find there s no one to talk to. Meanwhile, Abbed the Bedouin Shepherd and his suicide sheep dig a tunnel under the base, and into the missile control room. He attempts to fire one of the nuclear missiles, but rats chewing on the wires cause the electricity to short out and the firing sequence to fail. As Abbed makes his disappointed escape, our bumbling privates decide to resort to stealing exemption notes from the base doctor s office, as part of their endeavor to avoid guard duty in the West Bank. Unfortunately, the base doctor is a drug addict and had been stealing all kinds of chemicals from the medical storage, and the military police decides to spring a trap just as the guys are trying to sneak into the infirmary. Due to the doctor s quick thinking, he goes free, and instead Shulman and Hanukah are the ones charged with stealing, and sentenced to a month in the brig on top of their previous guard-duty sentence, and again their unrelenting egos force them to seek a way to avoid this too.
