They are aided by Larry Dubois (Marc McClure) – their "chauffeur" – and tough guy Tony Smerko (Bobby Di Cicco), who is annoyed that the Beatles are supplanting American acts on the charts and on the radio, but who tags along, just the same.

Famous quotes containing the words plot and/or summary:
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
