In this first episode of season two, Binghamton is on the war-path when a case of champagne comes up missing from a locked supply hut. Thinking McHale and his men are responsible, Binghamton sends the crew out on a mission as he goes over to McHale's island looking for the stolen case. What he finds over at the island is Fuji. So now Fuji is being held in the brig as a spy waiting transfer for interrogation.

When McHale returns he learns that Fuji is in jail and has to come up with a plan to free him. The scheme is to make the base think the war is over and then Fuji will not longer be needed. But the plan may backfire when Admiral Rogers makes a surprise visit to the base.

This is a rather routine script that produced little in the way of action. There was a few good moments as when Binghamton finds his champagne missing and the notable ending that must be seen- but otherwise it was just an average show to start off the second season with little new material. Season two comes in like a lamb.
