In 1965 the Beatles returned to the big screen with Help! This action/adventure spoof begins when Ringo gets the sacrificial ring of a far Eastern cult, known as Kahili, stuck on his finger. While Kahili sets out to get their ring back, Professor Foot and Algernon, a pair of mad scientists, are also in pursuit of the sacred ring. The Beatles are chased throughout the world as both Kahili and the scientists fall over each other trying to get at Ringo and the ring.
