Plot

The boys end up spending the night at a deceased millionaire's mansion after being included in his will. People are being murdered, and the Monkees uncover who's behind these dastardly acts.

My Personal Favorites

Mike and Mr. Babbit. Mike makes little faces behind his back and to his face while they're arguing.

Monkees in pajamas! =D

Micky and Davy as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

Mike's escapade with the carrier pidgeon and St. Bernard, *and* the way he says "C'mon, big fella!"

"Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day" romp

Peter and his gun. ;)

Things I've Noticed (WHY?)

I know the motto "Be prepared", but Mike *really* seems to be prepared in this episode. Matches??

Same thing with Micky. Knock-out drops??

Mike really seems to have an attachment to Ellie. Why? Why didn't he just say "back off, short stuff" and take over?
