During the course of the tour, strange things begin to happen at the whim of four or five magicians, four of whom are played by the Beatles themselves and the fifth by the bands longtime road manager Mal Evans.During the journey, Ringo and his Aunt Jessie argue continually. Aunt Jessie begins to have daydreams of falling in love with Buster Bloodvessel, who displays increasingly eccentric and disturbing behaviour. The tour involves several strange activities, such as an impromptu race in which each of the passengers employs a different mode of transportation some run, a few jump into cars, a group of people have a long bike they pedal, while Ringo ends up beating them all with the bus. In one scene, the tour group walk through what appears to be a British Army recruitment office and are greeted by the army drill sergeant Victor Spinetti. McCartney appears briefly as Major McCartney, on whose desk rests a sign reading I you WAS. The sergeant, shouting incomprehensibly, appears to instruct the assembled onlookers on how to attack a stuffed cow. ........
