Welcome to swingin’ England. Francis Henshall, a disarming and doltish man, finds himself employed by a local gangster and a notorious criminal.
While desperately trying to prevent discovery of his dual employment, inspired insanity, high-low antics, and nimble wordplay ensue - all backed by live musicians paying homage to a certain Fab Four.
