McHale's Navy (1962)

S3E30 Hello, McHale? Colonna!

While in New Caledonia, McHale and his crew bump into the quirky comedian Jerry Colonna. They persuade him to make an impromptu visit to Taratupa for a performance. However, they soon discover that the base isn't eligible for a Special Services show. To get around this, they concoct a plan involving a fabricated 'epidemic' at the base hospital to secure the entertainment they desire.
