## Plot

In 1968 in Burbank, California, Elvis is rehearsing onstage, being told that his show needs to be more Christmasy. He leaves and goes into his car, where Scatter is waiting for him drunk. Elvis calls Priscilla, who is taking care of their baby and tells her about the Christmas show which does not make him happy.

Things take a turn when Elvis' driver tells him that he would kill him, locking the singer and Scatter in the car. A toxic gas is released into the back of the limo. However, Elvis is able to make a hole in the window and grabs the driver. Out of the car, Elvis decides to fight the driver, helped by Scatter, beating him up.

Elvis waits until the driver wakes up so he can interrogate him with his friends Bobby Ray and Scatter. Bertie complains that he brought his vigilante work home, but Elvis says that everything would be fine. However, Scatter shoots him before Elvis can finish interrogating him, which angers Bertie.

Bertie patches Elvis up while he mentions that somebody wants him dead. Bobby Ray helps Elvis remember past people they have run into, which makes Bertie angry because his mother had left him as her responsibility.

Bobby Ray asks Elvis what he is going to do with his Christmas Special because it does not seem to be related to the holiday anymore. Elvis explains that it would be straight rock and roll, just the way he likes it. Elvis is approached by three girls who say they want pictures. Since he finds them attractive, he concedes, only to be surprised with knifes held up at him. However, another woman jumps in and starts protecting Elvis and making them retreat. The woman named CeCe leaves Elvis wondering what she wants, so she tells him that he is on a kill list before leaving.

Bobby Ray and Scatter pull up to Elvis in a car, using Scatter's enhanced sense of smell to go after the woman. They make it to a bar, which Elvis enters on his own. Finding CeCe, he asks about the kill list she mentioned, so she asks if the name Charlie Manson means anything to him.

Outside, Scatter is having sex with a woman inside the car, while Bobby Ray is distracted by a woman, who knocks him out. Charlie Manson tells the women to pick him up.

CeCe tells Elvis that his friend is kidnapped, so he points a gun at her, telling her that she would go with him. However, he soon finds many more guns pointed at him, so his firearm is taken away. Elvis rings an alarm, signaling for Scatter to drive. His monkey friend drives into the restaurant, which surprises CeCe and so they go together.

They drive over to Spahn Ranch, which CeCe tells them is the hideout. CeCe takes out a gun, which gives Elvis a brief PTSD moment, but she says that she is there to help. Elvis walks into a room, where he finds Bobby Ray tied to a bed in his underpants. Bobby Ray mentions he had sex with the girls who had kidnapped him and has bleeding from a peace symbol cut into his chest.

Looking around the small house, Elvis opens the door to a room where Charlie Manson was sitting with a large group of women. Charlie reveals that he used his friend to get him to make it there. Elvis and Bobby Ray make it back to the car with CeCe and Scatter, but are soon run into by another car.

Charlie grabs Elvis and ties him to a chair along with Bobby Ray, CeCe and Scatter. He tells them that they are at the gallows, but he does not want to kill him. He also did not want to use the term "kill list", but his other personality made him call it that. Elvis wants to go, but Charie says that he needs to join the family of brothers and sisters.

Charlie reveals that the group does drugs and has sex on a regular basis, but Elvis is not interested. Charlie says that he wants to make music as well, which confuses Elvis, so he answers aggressively, which makes Charlie shoot him. However, Elvis gets up and kicks him, causing the rest of Charlie's group to attack.

CeCe and Scatter free themselves, helping Elvis fight Charlie's group. However, they see that since everybody is so high, they cannot feel anything. After a while of fighting, Charlie cries because of all the deaths they caused. Scatter brings a horse and crushes Charlie, however, silencing him. After that, Bobby Ray, Elvis, and Scatter leave CeCe behind.

As CeCe eats dinner, she is approached by her commander, who asks if she thinks Elvis is ready, to which she asks if Elvis had passed his test. The commander asks how she feels about Doug because Elvis' monkey had shot and killed him accidentally.
