SUMMARY: Micky & Davy end up with a grandfather clock and find 2 million dollars in. But while The Monkees think that they lucked out on a big fortune, the money that was stashed in the statue was by some bank robbers.
Three years ago, two men from New York robbed a bank . The two men were in their thirties. One was 6'2", the other was 5'11" both had dark short hair. They put on their ski mask, and went in the bank with their guns. When they came inside the tall one snuck up on the guard and knocked him out. Everybody else turned to look.
"All right everybody this is a hold up. Don't nobody make a wrong move and no one will get hurt understand." Said the tall man.
The two men took turns in holding their guns at the people while the other made one of the tellers fill two big gym bags up. There was only a few people besides three tellers and the guard which they knocked out . The teller finished filling up the two bags, and the robbers started to leave.
"O.K. we're going to spit now, and thank you all for co'operating." Said the shorter man
And they left, but one of the mens keys fell right out on his pockets when he pulled his gun out, and one of the tellers noticed.
Later at their apartment they counted up to 2 million dollars. They were also making plans to get out of town.
" Hey Slim what should we do with the money? I don't think It's a good to have the money on us."
"I know Monty I know. I'll think of something."
He then looked over at this grandfather clock that they had in their apartment.
" I got it it." " My old mans grandfather clock. We can stash it in there, put it in a crate, and put a name to it. We'll ship it to California were will be going."
" Can we fit 2 million in there?"
" Sure there's plenty of room."
"Alright I'll get a crate."
Later they took the clock to a warehouse to have it shipped to a califorina warehouse. Then when they came home they had policemen watching them. And when they went in the police pound on the door, and busted in on them when they opened the door.
" O.K. you two put your hans up." Said one of the officers
" What's going on?" Said Slim
" Your under arrest for bank robbery."
" What do you mean we didn'y rob a bank." Said Monty
" Oh yeah well funny thing your keys just happen be found at the bank, and the teller saw the keys fall out of one of the robbers pockets, and when we traced the keys they happen to fit your apartment door. Now were's the money?"
" We do know any thing about a robbery, somebody stoled my keys." Said Monty
" Sure they did. Come on were going down to the station."
The police cuffed Slim and Monty and took them away.
Three years later after the robbers were put away in jail the clock was put up for aution. It was held in a warehouse, and about 8 people there. Then two young men came in, one was pretty tall with curly hair, the other one was a short britishman with a tiny frame. They were the two youngest members of the group The Monkees. They came in to look around to see what's happening.
" Hey Micky, what do you think is going on here?"
" Don't know Dave, but by the looks of it it might be an auction."
"Well we can't afford to bid on anything."
" I know but I never went to one before and I'm curious. I just want to see what it's all about."
Just then the auctioner was making an announcement over the microphone.
" Alright folks gather around we're going to start off on our first auction."
" Hey Davy why don't we stay for a few minutes and watch?"
" I don't know Micky, I mean why should we if we're not bidding."
"Who says we have do any bidding? There's nothing wrong with sitting, and watching."
" Well I guess we could do that."
So Micky and Davy stay for the first auction, and sat in the first row.
" Alright I have here this tall crate, and I'll start it off with 50 cents."
" I can afford 50 cents."
" No Micky I still wouldn't do it." Said Davy
" Come on folks who here will bid 50 cents?" One hand went up " O.k. I got 50 cent do I have 1 dollar?"
The bids were going up to $3.50
"O.K. I have 3.50, do I have $4.00 do I have $4.00?"
Just then out of the blue Micky sneezed "A-choo" Not knowing that the auctioner thought he had made a bet. "O.K. I have four who here will make it five?"
Nobody else bided. " Four dollars going once, twice, four dollars going three times; sold to the young curly haired man in the front row for four dollars."
Micky gasped "Huh?" Then Davy stood up
"Hey just a minute he just sneezed."
"Gesundheit, but he owes me $4.00."
"Ah man, I only have two bucks. Do you have two buck Dave?"
"Yeah." They give the auctioner the $4.00.
"Well I guess we have a crate, but next time I sit at an auction, I'm holding my sneeze by any means necessary."
" Yeah other wise you might of sneezed yourself into paying a million bucks that you know you don't have."
The two had the crate put into the monkee mobile, and drove home.
When they got home Mike and the two opened up the crate, and found a grandfather clock. " Well this is nice and all Mick, but we really didn't need a big clock, we have one already hanging on the wall."
" Actually Mike we were just siting though watching the bidding, but Micky accidentally sneezed us into this deal."
" That's what happens when you go to an auction; when you don't plan on bidding you gotta sit still and don't move a muscle other wise the'll think your bidding, but let that be a lesson. Instead of roaming around were you'll end up spending your money on things you don't need you could be saving it for a rainy day."
"Which doesn't look like it will today." Said The light brown haired Peter
"Oh Peter." Said the three
" Well anyway I'm going to go see about getting a gig, and I'm dropping Peter off at his girlfriend Sandys house I shouldn't be gone long." Said the texan
So Mike and Peter left leaving the two younger Monkees at the pad.
The two were still looking over the clock admiring it. " You know this is a really smashing clock you know." Said the englishman
"Yeah, you going to ask it for a date?" Said Micky
Davy rolled his eyes and still looked at the clock. " I'm going to get a snack I'll leave you two alone."
Davy glared at him, and continued to look at the clock, but then he notice a door at the front, and when he opened it his eyes went wide. Micky was still deciding what he would have to eat when Davy called for him."
" Micky, Micky." Micky saw the stunned look on his face.
" What's the matter it wont go out with you? " Said Micky Snickering
" Will you knock it off and come here?" Davy hissed " I found somthing in the clock
Micky went to see, and his eyes were wide.
" HOLY MOLY!!!" Said the curly haired drummer " We hit the jackpot." They then took all the money out and laid it out on the table.
" There must be 10 thousand dollars in each pack." Said the britishman They counted up to 2 million.
" My God Two million dollars. Divided by four that's a half a mil each." Said the culy hair drummer
" Micky do you know what this means?"
"Yeah it means we're rich baby!"
Later Mike came back home and found the other two Monkees sitting on the couch.
" Hey guys what's going on?" Said the texan
" Good, very good." Both said smiling. Mike walked into the kitchen and got some orange juice out the
refrigerator, and when he came back into the living room Micky and Davy were still smilling. Mike notice
this and gave a WTH look.
" Is there something wrong?"
" No Mike; noting wrong around here." Said Micky then smiled at him gain alone with Davy
" O.K. what's gotten into you two? You guys look like two cats that ate the canary."
" Oh Mike we want to tell you, but we want to wait intill Peter comes back." Davy " Can you wait till then?"
" It'll be easier of you two stop smilin so much." Just then Peter did come home. " Pete your home early."
" Yeah Sandys mom called. She had something inportant she had to do , and she needed Sandys help."
" Well guys now that Peters here you can tell us what we're smiling about."
" You know what We'll show you. " Said Micky, and he and Davy motion for Mike and Peter to come over
to the clock, and opened the door pull out all the money and put it all on the table. Peter and Mike couldn't
believe their eyes when they saw it.
" WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL TEXAS PRAIRIE CHICKENS IS THIS???" Said the texan
" Yeah man me and Davy couldn't believe it either, but it's right there in the clock we counted it all and
there's 2 million all together so betwwen the four of us that's a half of million each."
" Now hold on there good buddy; How do you if we can keep this money?"
" The man at the auction, and he told us that since the crate wasn't clamed in three years which is the limit
anything that came with the crate is ours 100%. I called him myself." Said Davy
" So get ready for the finer things in life." Said the curly haired drummer.
