The detective on the trail of the robber is on the way to nab who he thinks is Elvis, but is killed in a car crash, leaving behind a young daughter.
In present day, the detective's daughter is a reporter for a tabloid and is assigned to cover an Elvis festival in Tennessee. She quickly stumbles onto the trail of the bank robber, and again, all clues lead her to believe she is tracking Elvis.
