Description:Elvis plays Walter Hale, the manager of a traveling Chautauqua show. He has to deal with the usual problems — pressure to put the mayor's daughter in the show, a union representative (who he loves) hassling him about salaries, major acts not showing up. When a local pharmacist's body is found in the river, the showmen are under suspicion. Walter figures out that the murderer is a local woman who did it in self defense. He has her confess live on stage, both to bring in dollars, but also because it's the only way she could get a fair hearing.

Review - Trouble with Girls, The

Elvis sang a couple songs, but mostly he just stood around with a cigar in his mouth, looking like a bemused bystander. The combination of musical, comedy and murder mystery didn't really work.
