The film shows us the WAILERS' first rehearsal, when the idea of a Jamaican supergroup like the BEATLES or the STONES was still just a dream. We sit in on the launch of their international career with "GET UP STAND UP", "I SHOT THE SHERIFF", and the "BURNIN'" and "CATCH A FIRE" albums that brought to the world REGGAE music and RASTA consciousness together as one, starting a revolution that would change rock music and contemporary culture.

[Recounting the railway accident]::Joseph Finsbury: I was in the water closet of the Bournemouth express when it quite unaccountably exploded, thereby extensively damaging the rest of the train. I can't really think that I was to blame, although at the time I was smoking.

Morris Finsbury: Now what we need is a venal doctor.::John Finsbury: But - Uncle Joseph's dead! It's too late!::Morris Finsbury: Not for him, for us! Now, you remember that chambermaid you got into... um...::John Finsbury: ...thing.::Morris Finsbury: Thing. Who was the doctor who did the, um...::John Finsbury: ...thing. Uh, Pratt, Dr. Pratt.::Morris Finsbury: Was he venal?::John Finsbury: I - I didn't like to ask.::Morris Finsbury: Well, did he do the...::John Finsbury: ...thing. Yes.::Morris Finsbury: Good.::John Finsbury: But... what's he got to do with it?::Morris Finsbury: He's part of the plan.

[the doctor, owner of dozens of cats, is coughing]::Doctor Pratt: I'm all right; it's just a fur ball; it's nothing. Strangely, I haven't had fur for a fortnight.
