BEATLES ON BOARD

The three French flight attendants Babette, Jeanette, and Raclette from Jet Baguette are flying their audience from Vienna to Paris. But on this flight, everything that can go wrong does go wrong... Will the stolen, dilapidated Soviet airplane from the 1960s ever arrive? Will the 80-year-old pilot sober up again? What happens to the dead co-pilot in the luggage compartment? Is an emergency landing on the Danube promising? Will the passengers be distracted from all the mishaps by Beatles songs?

No embarrassing mishap can throw these three daring women in uniform off balance: On the contrary, they try to distract from the numerous blunders with a sophisticated "entertainment program" and keep the passengers in good spirits. The fearless stewardesses rock, jazz, and swing their way through the clouds. More than 20 Beatles songs are performed in never-before-heard styles. Did you know you can waltz to "Yesterday"? Or that "Help" sounds like an opera?

It's best to bring your own seatbelt and oxygen devices when the three most chaotic stewardesses in France think they can avoid a crash with a rocked version of "With A Little Help From My Friends" in the event of a second engine failure...

Whatever happens to three French women with English songs on a Soviet plane flying from Austria; Babette, Jeanette, and Raclette stick to the motto: "This airplane is absolutely safe. As long as it doesn't go into the air."

Just the right thing for people with a fear of flying...
