This Dennis Koenig story has Klinger's offer of money to a young Korean woman misunderstood by her mother, and even Potter suspects Klinger since he's "swarthy."  Meanwhile Hawkeye is shocked that a "Norman Rockwell" young man was a black-marketeer.  I'm not sure if the episode is consciously about prejudice, since neither man is really called out for his assumptions.  And, yes, it's pretty obvious what will happen to part of the ill gotten $8000.

James Emery makes his first of two M*A*S*H appearances, as a Soldier.  Shizuko Hoshi (Mrs. Li, her last of four M*A*S*H roles) and Kellye Nakahara (Yamato) return.
