Plot

Private eye Jack Singer swore to his mother on her deathbed that he would never marry. His girlfriend Betsy wants to get married and start a family, and he proposes a quick Las Vegas marriage. They check into the Bally's Casino Resort.

Before the wedding, however, a wealthy professional gambler, Tommy Korman, notices Betsy's striking resemblance to his beloved late wife, Donna. He arranges a crooked poker game that prompts Jack to borrow $65,000 after being dealt a straight flush, only to lose to the gambler's higher straight flush; Tommy offers to erase the debt in exchange for spending the weekend with Betsy.

After Tommy states he will be a perfect gentleman, the desperate couple consents. Jack discovers that Tommy has taken Betsy to his vacation home in Kauai. The gambler asks his taxi driver friend, Mahi Mahi, to keep Jack as far as possible from him and Betsy. Jack discovers this and steals the taxi. He sees Betsy outside the Kauai Club where he is attacked by Tommy and arrested. Jack's dentist friend, Sally Molars, bails Jack out of jail. Mahi Mahi meets Jack outside and admits that Tommy left for Las Vegas with Betsy and has convinced her to marry him. Mahi races Jack to the airport. Betsy decides she cannot go through with the wedding and escapes from Tommy.

Meanwhile, after changing many planes and finding himself stuck in San Jose, Jack tries frantically to find a flight to Las Vegas. He joins a group about to depart for Las Vegas but discovers mid-flight that they are the Utah chapter of the "Flying Elvises" – a skydiving team of Elvis impersonators. Jack realizes he has to skydive from 3,000 feet to get to Betsy. Jack overcomes his fear. He lands and spots Betsy, ruining Tommy's plans.

Jack and Betsy are married in a small Las Vegas chapel with the Flying Elvises as guests. Jack is wearing a white illuminated jumpsuit and Betsy is in a stolen showgirl outfit.

FamilyTree - Dr. med. Jürgen Christian Georg Berendsen [OUTDATED]

When researching my family history, I occasionally encounter an ancestor whose life deserves considerably more attention than a simple collection of names, dates and places. One such person is my great-great-grandfather, Dr. med. Jürgen Christian Georg Berendsen , born on 19 February 1855 in Schleswig and deceased on 19 April 1932 in Berlin. He lived for seventy-seven years, through a remarkable period of German history. Born in the Duchy of Schleswig before the German Empire existed, he witnessed the unification of Germany, the rapid development of modern medicine, the First World War, the collapse of the monarchy and the establishment of the Weimar Republic. His professional career unfolded during an era in which surgery, antisepsis and medical education were undergoing fundamental changes. But what interests me most is not simply the historical period in which he lived. It is the increasingly detailed picture of the man himself: a child described as physically fragile, a univ...
