Description: Walter Gulick, a sweet-natured country boy (who also sings), enters the fight game after discovering he has a killer punch. He rises through the boxing ranks, eventually getting a shot at the championship. But before the bout, a nefarious hotel manager tells Walter to take a dive, so he can make lots of dough. Will the song-belting boxer really go down? Or will he do the right thing and fight his heart out?
A musical remake of the 1937 film with Edward G. Robinson. Here, a typically naive Presley stumbles out of the army and into the waiting arms of a boxing coach who molds him into a powerhouse fighter. But the King really just wants to settle down and start a family.
