This is a pictorial story of the making of the movie. interesting for Beatles fans. It looks like it was obviously intended to be publicity to go with the movie. (

A cult wants to sacrifice Ringo.

It's painless to watch, and interestingly bizarre. It's a lot like Monty Python, without the humor. The music isn't incorporated into the story at all - they just stop to sing a song every now and then.
