"Monkees Marooned"

According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Monkees Marooned" - the fortieth episode of The Monkees series (and the eighth of the second season) - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (30 October 1967).  It was written by Stanley Ralph Ross, directed by James Frawley, and featured the songs "Daydream Believer" and "What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "When Peter trades his guitar for a treasure map the group goes in search of buried booty."
