Her friend Ringo Starr, drummer with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, suggests that she accompany the band to Hamburg for concerts, but her parents forbid it. By chance she meets Bobby Willis, who claims to be in the music industry but actually works in a bakery. Cilla is not impressed when she learns the truth about him, but she allows him to be her manager. At their first gig she is erroneously billed as Cilla Black but likes the name.
