In answering a trivia contest with the right answer, Peter "wins" a free dance lesson, only to sign a lifetime contract that threatens to drain his finances for the rest of his life.
The Monkees attempt to get Peter's contract voided, only to end up signing contracts themselves. The only answer is to cause so much havoc at the dance studio, the owner will tear up the papers.
Monkee music includes I'll Be Back Up On My Feet and I'm A Believer. Read full recap »
