Комичность всей этой нерезберихи усиливается еще и визитом Королевы Матери.

Для того, чтобы совершить жертвоприношение, на пальце человека, приносимого в жертву, должно быть священное кольцо. Именно оно и оказалось на пальце у ничего не подозревающего Ринго...В фильм включены следующие песни "Help!", "Another Girl", "Ticket To Ride", "The Night Before", "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away", "I Need You" и "You're Gonna Lose That Girl".
