Viva Las Vegas

Hip-swivelling high-speed fun as the King rolls into Las Vegas looking to compete in the Grand Prix and spends his spare time trying to win the heart of a swimming instructor.

Lucky Jackson needs money to get an engine good enough to enter his car into the Vegas Grand Prix. He earns the money working as a waiter but loses it again and has to enter the hotel talent contest. His opponent in the contest is the beautiful hotel swimming instructor Rusty Martin. Lucky doesn't just want to win the money; he wants to win her heart.
