Surely not...Elvis being bum-f&*ked by a gang of grubby convicts.
Yes...we all know what the 'jailhouse rock' really is...but did Elvis?
After watching this - the success of Elvis will become a complete mystery.

Vince Everett is serving a one-year jail sentence for manslaughter. While in the big house, his cellmate, a former country singer, introduces him to the record business.
