Help

The Beatles are hilariously pursued across London and eventually to a deserted island by a fanatical cult, a sinister scientist, and the police. Ringo Starr is the target of the cult who needs his sacred ring to perform a ritual sacrifice. The Fab Four must overcome these obstacles and save Ringo before it's too late.
