Plots(1)
Elvis Presley stars as action movie star Johnny Tyrone in this musical adventure. Johnny is completing a goodwill tour in the Middle East when he is drugged and kidnapped by underground assassins who, having seen him in action in his films, want to employ him to carry out the assassination of a desert king for them. Naturally, Johnny refuses, and after making a daring escape sets off across the desert in search of civilisation. En route he meets the beautiful Princess Shalimar (played by former Miss America Mary Ann Mobley) and finds time to perform a few hit songs including 'Hey Little Girl', 'Kismet', 'Mirage' and 'Harem Holiday'.
