“A STORY PULSING WITH THE HEARTBEAT OF TODAY'S YOUTH!”

Danny Fisher (Elvis Presley) flunks out of high school, quits his job as a nightclub busboy, and gets one night on stage that changes how the room looks at him. Maxie Fields (Walter Matthau), the crime boss who runs The Blue Shade, wants him to sing there and will not take no for an answer. Michael Curtiz sets a young man's talent against the people who want to own it.
