Plot[]

The Rutles embark from Rutland by train for a London TV show once they have escaped from their fans. They then decide to take a nap until they get to London. On arrival they're driven to a hotel where they're extremely bored and begin to do bizarre things like running up and down stairs, running through fields, and reading books. Barry feels a sudden melancholy urge to visit the zoo, and during a cinegraphic musical interlude he decides to live as an animal. The other Rutles, unaware of this, panic and look everywhere for him. He eventually returns and the concert goes as planned.
