English beat group Gerry and the Pacemakers play themselves in this silly film. The group members are art students by day and pop stars the rest of the time, wandering around the city singing their songs and hoping for a big break. It finally comes when Gerry's girlfriend brings a manager to see them rehearse and hires them on the spot. It's hard not to compare the group to The Beatles, also from Liverpool and managed by Brian Epstein, and the film to A Hard Day's Night which was released a year earlier.
