  Film - A Classic and a genuine rarity.

This film will NEVER (OK in our lifetime) be released oficially on DVD becasue of the copyrighted music used in the film. My recording is from the original TV broadcast and has been transferred to DVD.

Two guys meet, one American (a deserter from the US army), one Brit, and they are drawn together by their mutual love of Soul music.

Neither being gainfully employed they decide to start a mobile disco service for fellow soul lovers, which leads them to buy an ice cream van, and the adventure begins. Before long they find themselves on the run from the bad guys and the police.
