Elvis Presley's ode to the exotic island paradise sees him play Chad Gates, an ex-soldier who returns home to Hawaii with three things on his mind: fun, music and girls. Chad's mother, Sarah Lee (Angela Lansbury), wants him to embark on a career in big business, but Chad has other ideas and takes a job as a tour guide. Of course, family troubles aside, the King also finds time to set the palm trees swinging as he sings 'Rock A Hula Baby', 'Can't Help Falling in Love' and other classic hits.
