A religious cult wants the ring worn by Ringo for their sacrificial ritual. They follow Ringo and the boys around London, to the Austrian Alps and eventually the Bahamas. Scotland Yard inspectors get involved but are of little help. Threadbare plot is just a way to showcase new Beatles songs interspersed at regular intervals, which are slickly edited and miles beyond anything else coming out in 1965. Their goofy antics are a little too smug and self-aware at times, but always colorful and entertaining.
