Plot

Elvis and his mother, Gladys, drive to Tupelo Hardware Co. for him to choose a birthday present for his 11th birthday. Although Elvis had always had a bike in his eye, he instead chooses a rifle, much to his mother's dismay. After she prohibits him from buying the gun, the store owner takes him outside and persuades him to buy a guitar instead. Elvis accepts the instrument and starts to become attached to it on the way home. The film ends with Elvis entering their house, with a sign saying "Presley" on the front door.
