Dust Bin Bob runs a second hand shop at the Flea Market at Penny Lane. He has an extensive rep of American R&B singles that he gets from Merchant Marines returning from Baltimore and New York. The action starts when he befriends some blokes by the name of John, Paul, George and Ringo and becomes their lifelong friend sharing the vinyl that will start a revolution. From then on, it's a rocket ride from their earliest days in Liverpool to six shows a night in Hamburg to the Cavern Club to full-fledged Beatlemania. Along the way, Dust Bin Bob uncovers a plot by Marcos loyalists to assassinate the Fab Four from in Manila after they snub snub Imelda Marcos, blowing off a reception at the palace and narrowly avoiding an international incident.

From a serious Beatles fan who has read every word every written about them, Rubber Soul is a wild ride through Rock 'N Roll history.
