Lewellen is trapped by the fact that she must tend to her father after he suffers an accident that leaves him mentally handicapped. When Ellen leaves life is bleak for the little girl. The thought of Elvis coming is the only thing that keeps Lewellen from being overwhelmed with despair. Buddy plots with the Wooden's Boy to get Lewellen to dance naked while singing in order to procure an Elvis ticket.
