According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Monkees in the Ring" - the twentieth episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (30 January 1967). It was written by Gerald Gardner and Dee Caruso, directed by James Frawley, and featured the songs "Laugh" and "I'll Be Back up on My Feet." Sandoval describes the plot as: "A shady promoter enters Davy into the ring as an unlikely boxing champion."
