Plot

This time it is Micky Dolenz' turn to essay a dual role, as "himself" and notorious gangland killer Baby Face Morales. Persuaded to pose as Baby Face by the police, Micky is assigned to locate a fortune in stolen loot. The "fun" begins when the real criminal escapes from prison, throwing the Monkees, the cops, and Baby Face's mob into a state of frenzied confusion. Robert Strauss and Maureen Arthur appear respectively as a police captain and as Morale's moll Ruby. Though he was billed in the TV Guide listings, Davy Jones does not appear in this episode, having gone to England to attend his sister's wedding. Songs: "Mary, Mary" and "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone". Written by Gerald Gardner, Dee Caruso, and Dave Evans from a story by Evans, "Alias Micky Dolenz" was originally broadcast on March 6, 1967. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
