🏝️ Plot Summary
Elvis Presley plays Chad Gates, a young man who returns to Hawaii after serving in the U.S. Army. His wealthy parents expect him to join the family pineapple business, but Chad has other plans—he wants to work as a tour guide for a travel agency and enjoy island life on his own terms. Romance, family conflict, and plenty of music ensue as Chad follows his heart instead of his family's expectations.
