The Monkees perform a sold-out show at The St. Paul Auditorium Arena in Minneapolis.  After the show, a 16-year-old female fan stows away on the group's private plane. Her father threatens pressing criminal charges against the group, claiming that they have committed a felony by transporting a minor across state lines.
