  • Songs include: King Creole.

  • Because he's obligated to tend to his wimpy father, New Orleans high school student Danny Fisher will not be graduating.

    Instead, he turns to crime. After the cops nab him for stealing, however, he vows never to violate the law again. Then he manages to land a gig singing in the hip Vieux Carre club in the French Quarter.

    Trouble is, his history of crime returns to haunt him in the form of mobster Maxie Fields, who demands that Danny perform exclusively for him.

    As if that conflict were not enough, Danny gets involved with Maxie's squeeze and risks losing his true love, Nellie, as well as his own neck.

    Danny wants out. But that's not easy because the company he keeps these days prefers machine guns over music.
