Spoilers ahead
Paul McCartney is stuck in a traffic jam in his chauffeur-driven car on the way to an interview. In a moment of daydream, he imagines himself behind the wheel of a flashier car, crammed with the latest technology, winding through the countryside as the world whirs by. Then a call from Steve arrives: Harry, a reformed criminal, is missing along with the master tapes he was meant to deliver to the factory the day before.
Paul races to the studio, only to find police already there, investigating the case and treating Harry’s disappearance as a potential relapse into old habits. Mr. Rath [John Bennett] arrives with a hard-edged warning: if the tapes are not found by midnight, he will take over the record company.
