Synopsis by Hal Erickson

The Monkees launched its second season with the South of the Border misadventure "It's a Nice Place to Visit." Stranded in Mexico, the Monkees run afoul of notorious bandit leader El Diablo (Peter Whitney) when Davy falls in love with the bad guy's sweetheart Angelita (Cynthia Hull). One of the boys' tactical maneuvers is to pose as banditos themselves, with Peter declaring himself "El Torko -- the Bandit Without a Nickname." The gloriously named Pedro Gonzales Gonzales appears as Lupe. Song: "(What Am I Doin') Hangin' 'Round". Written by Treva Silverman, "It's a Nice Place to Visit" originally aired on September 11, 1967.
