Collection of five musicals starring Elvis Presley. In 'G.I. Blues' (1960), guitar-picking soldier Tulsa McLean (Presley) accepts a bet that he can spend the night with a cabaret dancer, hoping to use the proceeds to open a nightclub. In 'Blue Hawaii' (1961), Presley stars as 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 business, but Chad has other ideas and takes a job as a tour guide. In 'Girls! Girls! Girls!' (1962), Presley stars as hobby sailor Ross Carpenter, who runs a fishing boat. Ross finds himself pursued by a throng of girls, but can't decide which one he likes the most. In 'Roustabout' (1964), Presley is Charlie Rogers, a freewheeling motorcyclist who takes a job with Maggie Morgan (Barbara Stanwyck)'s carnival when his bike breaks down. Maggie sets Charlie to work as hired muscle, but when she catches a glimpse of his rock 'n' roll talents she realises he can help out in other ways too, and soon Charlie is rocking the carnival out of bankruptcy. Finally, in 'Fun in Acapulco' (1963), Presley stars as lifeguard-turned-entertainer Mike Windgren in the Mexican resort of Acapulco, where he suddenly finds himself the object of the affections of a female bullfighter.
