Just as she is about to be killed, the high priestess of the cult, Ahme, notices that she is not wearing the sacrificial ring.

Determined to retrieve the ring and sacrifice the woman, the great Swami Clang, Ahme, and several cult members including Bhuta, leave for London. After several failed attempts to steal the ring, they confront the Beatles in an Indian restaurant. Ringo learns that if he does not return the ring soon, he will become the next sacrifice.

En décembre 1968, le réalisateur Michael Lindsay-Hogg tourne The Rock and Roll Circus, un évènement musical organisé par les Rolling Stones auquel participent notamment John Lennon et sa femme Yoko Ono. Aussitôt terminé, le réalisateur se voit offrir, par Paul McCartney, l'opportunité de tourner un documentaire sur l'enregistrement du prochain album des Beatles. Accompagnés par l’équipe de tournage, le groupe se réunit à partir du 2 janvier 1969 dans les studios de cinéma de Twickenham, où ils avaient déjà tourné des scènes pour A Hard Day's Night et Help! et commence à enregistrer. Yoko Ono est présente aussi, assise à côté de John Lennon. L'ambiance est tendue, des désaccords apparaissent, sans compter le fait que les membres du groupe n’apprécient pas les conditions dans lesquelles ils répètent dans cet endroit particulier, sous l'œil de deux caméras tournant en continu. Chaque jour, ils commencent à travailler tôt le matin, ce qui les change profondément de leurs séances nocturnes habituelles aux studios Abbey Road. « Nous n'arrivions pas à nous y habituer, se souviendra Lennon. Les studios Twickenham étaient devenus un endroit cauchemardesque, où il fallait se rendre matin après matin. Nous ne pouvions vraiment pas faire de la musique dès huit heures du matin ni même à dix heures, avec ces objectifs attachés à nos moindres gestes, avec tous les techniciens gravitant autour de nous, attentifs à fixer même nos bâillements. » Durant ces séances, les Beatles jouent de tout et de rien, beaucoup (près de 100 titres seront abordés), font le « bœuf » (jamming), souvent mal, faux et sans conviction.

The program consists mostly of "film promos" around the song selection, interspersed with occasional slices of Lennon and Ono's life together, and also fantasy and "gag" sequences. In one of these, a succession of men (ranging from Lennon and Ono's assistants to celebrities including Fred Astaire, Jack Palance, Dick Cavett, and even George Harrison) escort Ono over and over through a doorway; in another, John and Yoko lose each other on the Tittenhurst grounds, and go looking.
