About
1972. My family needed some help, my town needed a hero, and my band needed a break. So I borrowed Mom's pink Cadillac and I kidnapped Elvis Presley, and our lives were never the same again.
When a teen tries to set up a band at his school, his mother - who was a big fan of Elvis Presley - gets in a wreck. He and his band members then decide to kidnap Elvis and hook him up with his mother.
