The Beatles may be in decline and are desperate for ideas to impress manager Brian Epstein. Ringo is derided for his suggestion that he may contribute to song writing and even more so for suggesting a pantomime. The Panto is, nevertheless, inevitable and Ringo becomes involved in a quest with the evil SiCo, Simon Cowell, to find the source of all popular music. John, Paul and George play classic Panto roles, each appropriate to his character. The Beatles music, to date, is referenced in each scene and the finale is a medley of Beatles music yet to come. A benevolent Genie dispenses wit and wisdom throughout.
