Ross Carpenter (Elvis Presley) is a poor fisherman trying to save enough money to buy back a boat built by his father. He falls for pretty nightclub singer Robin (Stella Stevens), a poor little rich girl who hides her affluent family ties. Ross has a rival for Robins affections in Jeremy Slate (Wesley Johnson), a wealthy weasel with a lecherous leer and the amorous arms of an octopus. Another frenzied female after Ross is Laurel (Laurel Dodge), who Ross saves from the amphibious tentacles of Jeremy before she falls in love with Ross. A dozen songs are features in this Hawaiian setting, the most notable being the Otis Blackwell and Winfield Scott classic "Return To Sender." This was the fourth film for the pill popping Presley in 1962, who would keep up this furious pace of largely forgettable films until returning to the live performances that launched him to super stardom. Background vocals are provided by The Jordanaires.
