This is set at the front entrance of Graceland, the late Elvis Presley's Memphis mansion and it's five o'clock in the morning, three days before the estate is to be opened to the public
Two ardent Presley fans, Bev and Rootie, are camped out before the gates, each determined to be the first to enter the sacred precincts.
Bev is a bewigged, middle-aged lady with too much make-up and a brassy down-home style
Rootie is a young and shy and somewhat intimidated by the raucous Bev
Wary at first, the two soon progress from dispute to shared confidences and a growing compassion that, in the end, moves the essentially warm-hearted Bev to defer the place of honor to her waif-like and touchingly sincere rival
One-act
