Monkees

Peter is kidnapped, in a plot against a rocket scientist.

The Monkees are lured to the lab of a mad scientist, only to have their musical abilities, put into a Frankenstein-like monster.

When the Monkees decide to get themselves an answering service, they soon end up working for one instead. Left on their own, the foursome starts ignoring the most important rule: 'don't get involved with the clients'. Mike tries to save a young girl he thinks is planning to commit suicide, Davy brings a message which soon has an entire building in a riot and Peter messes up a scheme to place gambling bets over the phone. Micky somehow manages to keep out of trouble.

All four Monkees fall in love with the same girl, April Conquest, of the local laundromat. Each one tries to woo her by feigning interest in things she likes: Davy paints pop-art, Mickey performs ballet, Peter plays chamber music, and Mike rides a bike.

Davy rescues the Princess Bettina of the Duchy of Harmonica from drowning. When he goes to get his jacket back, the Monkees find out that her uncle, Archduke Otto, is trying to dispose of Bettina so he can become king himself.

When the Monkees attend the reading of a late millionaire's will, they find themselves forced to stay the night in his haunted castle.

After Peter fails a job interview at a toy factory conducted by a computer, Mike makes the same machine short circuit and is promptly hired. Soon all four Monkees take a stand against the technology minded Mr Daggart (Stan Freberg) in favor of old fashioned, hand made toys.

Nick Trump, manager of "The Four Swine", gets the Monkees to participate in publicity stunts meant to keep them from entering a talent contest.

The Central Intelligence Service recruits the Monkees to capture two foreign spies, Boris and Madame, after Davy unwittingly purchases a pair of red maracas with a hidden microfilm inside.

When Davy's grandfather visits thinking his grandson has become a great success in the Colonies, the guys pretend to be on Davy's personal staff in an attempt to fool the elder Jones.

TV producer Hubbell Benson has invited many young groups, including The Four Martians, The Foreign Agents, and The Jolly Green Giants to audition for a new TV show, but not The Monkees. However, when he hears their music on a hired tape recorder, he sets out to find this mystery band, not knowing that the Monkees are having great difficulty getting into the auditions at the same time.

Crooked fight promoter Sholto tells Davy he could be a featherweight champ and starts fixing fights so that 'Dynamite' Davy Jones quickly makes a career.

Davy meets his double, the shy Prince Ludlow of Peruvia, and soon learns that the vertically-challenged Highness must marry before his 18th birthday in order to ascend to the Peruvian throne. The other three Monkees convince Davy to swap places with the Prince and woo young socialite Wendy Forsythe in his stead. However, the evil Count Myron has his eye on the throne as well.

The Monkees travel to New York to meet a young producer, Mackinley Baker, at The Compton Plaza Hotel. Unfortunately, they find Baker just about to be evicted out of the room and themselves without any money for a place to stay. So, the group holds on to the room while Baker visits his backer. When this does not work out, they try convincing members of the Millionaire's club across the street to back Baker's play.

The Monkees are asked to appear as extras in Luther Kramm's new beach movie, but soon take offense to the film's star, Frankie Catalina. After upstaging him during the production, Catalina walks off the movie and the Monkees push Davy into the limelight as the new teen idol.

With the scripted sitcom antics taking a backseat, this episode shows the group on a real concert tour.

When Peter displays a talent for copying art, crooked museum guards Duke and Chuche force him to copy Frans Hals' 'The Laughing Cavalier' and switch it with the real one. The Monkees mount Mission: Ridiculous to put the actual artwork back and take on the code names 'Manchester Marauder' (Davy), Conneticut Counterspy (Peter), Towering Texan (Mike) and the Los Angeles Leopard (Micky).

When his girl Brenda is stolen from him by muscle bound Bulk, Micky contemplates hocking his drums so he can pay for Shah-Ku's "Weakling's Anonymous" course. Fearing this will break up the group, Davy and Peter first try to pass of Bulk as a weakling to Brenda, then set out to prove Shah-Ku is a phony.

The Monkees ride into Swineville and immediately get caught up in a hillbilly feud between the Chubber and the Weskitt families. Ella Mae Chubber takes a shine to Davy (and, to a lesser extent, Micky and Peter). The only way out is to patch things up between Ella Mae and her dim-witted fiancé Jud Weskitt.

Naive and gullible, Peter gives his guitar to a scam artist in exchange for a treasure map.

Natasha Pavlova escapes from The Druvanian National Ballet by hiding in the Monkees' instrument trunk and falls in love with Peter, whom she refers to as 'The Face' (and sometimes just plain 'Petrov'). Ballet Master Nicolai and his other star, Ivan, insist on getting her back, mainly because of the microfilm hidden in one of her red shoes.

The Monkees take a job at the Henry Cabot Lodge and Cemetery, where they are forced into service as hotel staff as well. The guests include a quartet of tall female bikers, whom the boys set out to impress by dressing like Marlon Brando in 'The Wild One'. When the girls' boyfriends, Big Butch and the Black Angels, arrive, the Monkees (now known as the Chickens) must enter a motorcycle race they cannot possibly win.

While on a trip to Mexico, the group lands into trouble after Davy falls for the girlfriend of a local desperado.

Micky, Davy and Mike are duped into robbing a bank, thinking they're the stars of a new heist movie. After their arrest, it is up to Peter to prove his band mates' innocence while the trio of accused Monkees handle their own defense during the trial.

Faced with selecting a husband or being married to the evil Vidaru, Princess Colette of Nehudi picks out Davy's picture from a magazine. The Manchester Monkee is then put to the choice: marry a beautiful girl and life a life of luxury or be killed. In case he agrees, the remaining three Monkees will be granted high-ranking positions on his staff (not to mention their pick of harem maidens). Of course, Vidaru plans to get rid of the Monkees, whether they agree or not.
