Am 7. Februar 1964 treffen die Beatles in den USA ein – sie bleiben dort bis zum 21. Februar. Sie werden von 5.000 kreischenden Fans auf dem John F. Kennedy International Airport begrüßt.
Jeder Schritt der Beatles wird von Reportern, Fotografen und Fernsehteams verfolgt.
Mit dabei ein Kamerateam, das eine Dokumentation über den Besuch der Beatles in Amerika filmt.
Diese Dokumentation wird am 12. Februar in England unter dem Titel "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! The Beatles in New York" gezeigt.
Die amerikanische Beatles Merchandising Firma Seltaeb wird von Lizenzanfragen, um Beatles Produkte vermarkten zu dürfen, geradezu überschwemmt.
Das Beatles-Fieber hat auch die USA erreicht.
