About Sgt. Connors[]
Sergeant Connors comes to the 4077th looking for Frank Burns. According to Connors, the military police had arrested one Corporal Thomas Hinkey who had been dealing with Korean antiques on the black market. Hinkey had named Burns as one of his customers. He had purchased an 800 year old celadon bowl dating from the Koryo dynasty. The Korean government did not want to see its ancient art treasures being looted and thus Connors is investigating the case and attempting to retrieve the item.
Burns perks up when he hears that the artefact was priceless. He had only paid $27.75 for it. He firmly denies that he was involved in the transaction. Somebody else must have used his name. Connors accepts Burns' answer and leaves. But Burns would ot get off so easily. Hawkeye and B.J. don't believe the story and take steps to frustrate Burns' plan to ship the bowl home to his wife.
