Lester Benson manages one of the biggest rock bands in 1960s Britain, the Small Faces (as themselves - they're in the movie). He happens to be an ex-con who wants to return to the crime scene [actually, he's gone straight]. He summons the help [is blackmailed by] of Major Fairclough who safe-cracks diamonds to smuggle into the Netherlands via the Big L's ship. It seems a perfect crime as no-one served as a witness [a witness to... oh, yes... one of the jewel robberies], except for an intellectually-challenged bus conductress called Mrs. Edgecomb who saw Major Fairclough ("a military-looking man").
In this swinging romp through 1960s London, the frenzied manager of mod-rockers the Small Faces (made up of Steve Marriott, Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan and Ronnie Lane) gets into trouble when he agrees to use the band to smuggle diamonds out of the country. Songs include the Small Faces’ “I’ve Got Mine,” “It’s Too Late,” “Come On Children” and “Don’t Stop What You’re Doing” and The Chantelles’ “I Think of You” and “Please Don’t Kiss Me.”
