Elvis's first film after leaving the army has him playing a private stationed in Germany, but soon to be going home to the States. He and some other soldiers have a small band and they are trying to raise the money to open their own club when they get back home. They become aware of local dancer Juliet Prowse who all the soldiers are hot for, but won't date any of them. Elvis bets that he can spend the night alone in her apartment, the winnings of the bet will be enough to get their club started. He gets close to her, but falls for her hard and is worried that the deception will ruin things. This is a decent Elvis film ... nothing special, but of average quality. It's a disappointment since it follows the superb "King Creole", but it's not a bad film by any means.

An average Elvis flick that really only suffers by following an amazing one
