Storyline
July 3, 1954: As future pop/rock music icon Elvis Presley in Memphis (the leapee is played by Michael St. Gerard in uncredited cameo appearance), Sam, as Elvis as he prepares for his first recordings for Sun Records and it's label owner and record producer Sam Phillips (Garn Stephens), must help a struggling female musician named Sue Anne Winters (Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) make wise decisions concerning her troubled marriage and not give up on her musical career, while, at the same time, ensure that he doesn't prevent the soon to be future "king of rock 'n' roll" from being discovered by Phillips, and that music history isn't changed as a result.
