The crew of the 73 has been having bad luck recently and with Friday the 13th approaching things are getting worse. As any navy man will tell you, sailors are very superstitious and if things do not go correct they start looking into something more sinister than just bad luck. Binghamton finds out about the feelings of the crew of the 73 and sets out to make the superstition of sailors rise-up so much that they request a transfer.
Binghamton makes some phony papers that the correct number of PT 73 should have been the 13. So he get the boat painted as number 13. Then with help from Lt Carpenter, Binghamton sends McHale off to delivery some papers and then make the crew believe that the boat is haunted. He then tells the crew that McHale has put in for a transfer and then next thing you know the Captain has all the rest of the crew's transfer papers. The only problem is that McHale never put in for the transfer and now Binghamton holds the papers that he will personally keep till the mail plane flies out. McHale needs a miracle to get those papers back from the Captain.
This was a different type episode than we are accustom from the series. Even though the story was rather corny in presentation, it still was entertaining enough to keep the viewer's attention. There was some good scenes in this show and then some rough scenes. But overall the story was written well enough to make the story interesting.
