Stern military strategist General Collins (John Anderson) has no qualms about "playing" with the lives of the men under him. Even when Collins' own son turns up as a patient at the 4077th, Collins is unrepentant. Elsewhere, Margaret (Loretta Swit) anxiously awaits a visit from her idol, Dr. Steven Chester (James Karen)--only to come down with a sudden attack of laryngitis. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
