Short description
An obscure Eastern cult that practices human sacrifice pursues Ringo after he unknowingly puts on a ceremonial ring (that, of course, won't come off). On top of that, a pair of mad scientists, members of Scotland Yard, and a beautiful but dead-eyed assassin all have their own plans for the Fab Four.
What's left behind the scenes
- According to George Harrison, during the filming of the scene with the horse and the window, the members of The Beatles laughed so much that filming that one scene took almost the entire day.
- The film was already in post-production while filming was still ongoing. Director Richard Lester shot during the day and edited the footage at night.

- Mel Evans (1935-1976), The Beatles' road manager, appeared as the swimmer in the film.
- Initially, The Beatles planned to film a Western. The action was to take place in Texas, and they would compete for the love of a cattle rancher’s daughter. Photographs of the members of The Beatles on horseback in cowboy attire have even been preserved. The Western was never made, and instead, they began filming this film.
