Aboard a Mississippi riverboat a professional gambler, Johnny ( Elvis ), is advised by a gypsy fortune-teller to team up with a red-haired girl for good luck at the tables. Johnny takes it a bit further than that, much to the annoyance of his girlfriend Frankie and to Nellie the redhead's boyfriend who just also happens to be Johnny's boss. The rest of the movie deals with the not infrequent merry-go-round of partner swapping and various jealousies.

Greg 'Rick' Richards, a girl-loving, out of work airline pilot, returns to Hawaii and starts a helicopter charter service providing him with the means to meet many of the island's lovely tourists. All seems to be going well until he takes a job ferrying some dogs ( real ones ) around. Things get a touch out of control during the trip as does the helicopter, which buzzes the road and narrowly misses the chief of the Island Aviation Bureau who is not overly impressed. Beautiful scenic aerial shots of Hawaii.

Apparently the 'Drums of the Islands' sequence was affected by a punch-up between some of the native 'extras' when it was noticed that the canoe in the scene was of Samoan origin. The oarsmen were Tongan.

Elvis plays Mike McCoy, a singing racing car driver who
is pursued by a car designer until he agrees to drive an experimental sports car in a desert road race. He is also
pursued by the designer's daughter, but for entirely different reasons. She has some competition of her own as two other luscious lovelies are also on Mike's trail. The desert must
have seemed a good place to be at the time.
