Plot

                   In the Easten Temple of the Goddess Kaili, a human sacrifice is about to be made. But the executionor, the High Priest Clang, is stopped by the beauiful Ahme, Priestess of the cult, who has discovered that the victim is not wearing the sacrificial ring essential for the ritual.
                   On the other side of the world the Beatles are performing. Ringo sits on the stage playing the drums and among his many rings is - the ring - a present from an unknown fan of another continent.
                    In the days that follow, a series of mysterious events make no sense to the Beatles. At home, on the street, a strange force seems to be directed at Ringo. A gang of thugs desnd upon the boys and attempt to amputate Ringos entire hand - and the Beatles realise that it is Ringos new ring that they must have.
                    After several attempts, clang and his gang nearly succeed in stealing Ringo's whole person, but just in time he is saved by Ahme.
                    A few days later, while the boys are waiting for a meal in an Italian restaurant, the dreaded Clang and his henchman Bhuta appear desuised as waiters. They tell Ringo that since they cannot remove the the ring from his finger he is to be sacrificed to the Goddess. The boys flee to the nearest jewellers and ask the man to cut off the offending ring. But the metal breaks the files and the cutting wheel.
                    The boys call next at a science laboratory run by Professor Foot and his assistant Algernon who put Ringo through every machine they have - to no avail; the ring resists all the assults known to science. Foot decides that the ring has properties, which could give the owner power to rule the world, and he confides in Algernon that he must get the ring. So the Beatles have two more enemies who will stop at nothing to retrive the ring. Ahme once again comes to the rescue and they all flee the laboratory - to the Alps.
                     In no time at all the Beatles' winter sport activities are interurupted by the arrival of Foot and Algernon intent on mayhem to be joined almost at once by Clang and the gang. After a frantic chase though snow and ice, up mountains, and down ski lifts the boys scramble to the nearest railwa station and gasp to the ticket man "London".
                     Back home they confide their trobles to a superintendent of Scotland Yard and tell him that they must have protection in order to record in peace.
                     The next day the boys record two songs on Salisbury Plain, under the protection of the British Army, but Clang and his murderous thugs arrive and put the Beatles to flight. Ahme, in a tank, rescues them in the nick of time.
                      Back in London the murder attempts increase and the beatles decide to eave the country until the heat is off. Heavily disguised they fly off to the Bahamas. But, alas, the world is too small a place for the Beatles, Clang and his gang, and the two power drunk scientists. Soon the whole fray is resumed. But ringo learns the formula which releases him from the ring. the ring slips off and he hands it to Clang who hastily hands it to Foot who tries to pass it on to Algernon and so on down the line.
                      Ahme and the beatles at last find peace and the dreaded Kaili will have no more victims.
