Flame is a rock band in the film played by real-life rock band Slade. It chronicles their beginnings as a bar and wedding band with an Elvis impersonator as a singer. When they replace him with a real singer it gets the attention of a big-time manager. They become famous and don't handle it too well. Conflict is provided by their old manager who stoops to violence to get his share of the pie. Despite the gritty realism I found this to be a rather familiar tale of immature musicians who can't handle the pressures of wealth and fame.
