MOVIE RENTAL
When fired from his job as an airline pilot, Rick Richards (played by Elvis Presley) returns to his home in Hawaii. Upon his return, he goes into the helicopter charter business with his good friend, Danny Kohana (played by James Shigeta). However, Rick isn't exactly serious in business or his personal life and shows it in his reckless flying habits and his thoughtless handling of the local women he dates. When Rick is faced with losing his pilot license, he must decide whether he should suffer the punishment of the government permanently grounding him, or take a chance and look for Danny whose goes missing.
