Having successfully finished with a training exercise, a U. S. Army tank crew stationed in Germany decide to spend the evening at a local gasthaus where "Tulsa McLean" (Elvis Presley) and a couple of friends hope to get the opportunity to showcase their musical talent and possibly earn some much-needed money. At first, everything goes according to plan, but a fight subsequently breaks out and they are forced to leave. From there they all go back to Frankfurt and, still desperately needing money, Tulsa is coerced into accepting a bet that he can spend the night with an attractive female entertainer named "Lili" (Juliet Prowse) who works at a popular nightclub there. Coincidently, his two buddies "Rick" (James Douglas) and "Cookie" (Robert Ivers) also meet a couple of attractive women and soon all three soldiers find themselves being distracted while still attempting to win the bet. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, while I enjoyed the military atmosphere, I don't believe that this was one of Elvis' better films due in large part to the rather tame humor and predictable plot. But even so, I suppose it was good enough for the time spent to watch it and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
