"The Monkees' Paw"

According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "The Monkees' Paw" - the fifty-first episode of The Monkees series (and the nineteenth of the second season) - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (29 January 1968).  It was written by Coslough Johnson, directed by James Frawley, and featured the songs "Words" and "Goin' Down."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "Micky buys a mystical monkey's paw from a malicious magician."
