"Art for Monkees Sake"

According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Art for Monkees Sake" - the thirty-seventh episode of The Monkees series (and the fifth of the second season) - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (9 October 1967).  It was written by Coslough Johnson, directed by Alex Singer, and featured the songs "Randy Scouse Git" and "Daydream Believer."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "Peter gets caught in a plot to counterfeit and steal a priceless Rembrandt."
