A secret group, calling themselves The Assassins, kidnaps Johnny and leads him to a distant Arab kingdom that has been isolated from the rest of the world for 2,000 years. It evolves into a true desert adventure when Elvis Presley plays Johnny and pairs with former Miss America Mary Ann Mobley (Presley’s co-star in Girl Happy) in this musical and mischievous parody of Cecil B. DeMille’s 'King of Kings' from 1925, directed by musical veteran Gene Nelson. The abductors demand that Johnny use his martial arts skills to kill a desert king. But will Johnny perform in the role of a hitman? No, he would rather perform as a singing star with numbers such as Kismet, Harem Holiday and nine other songs, all part of the musical and unruly pranks in Harum Scarum.
