Movie Description
As the manager of a traveling Chautauqua troupe, Elvis has his hands full when the show is disrupted by the murder of a local sleazeball. He also juggles the demands of his union-minded (but lovely) piano accompanist.
Synopsis
Elvis Presley stars in this eclectic blend of whodunit, melodrama, comedy and Americana.
Walter Hale is the manager of a "Chautauqua" -- a traveling educational/motivational show -- whose tour takes him and his company to a small town in the Midwest circa 1927.
Aside from the friction between Walter's crew and the locals, one of the residents, a jealous pharmacist, is found murdered. While the traveling performers decide the show must go on, and the residents debate whether to support or reject it, Walter realizes the onus is on him to solve the mystery.
