In Fun in Acapulco, Elvis Presley stars as Mike Windgren, another version of his musical comedy persona a former circus performer trying to escape his past. Mike's circus career ended when he caused his partner to be seriously injured during their trapeze act. Traumatized by the accident, Mike has developed a fear of heights. At the beginning of the film, he finds himself in Acapulco, where he hires on as lifeguard at a resort hotel. In the evenings, he entertains the guests by singing.
Mike becomes involved with two exotic women -- hotel social director Marguerita Dauphin, played by Ursula Andress, and lady bullfighter Dolores Gomez, played by Elsa Cardenas. Mike soon finds himself in competition with another hotel lifeguard, who every night performs a death-defying jump off the ocean cliffs near the hotel. This rival uncovers Mike's past and tricks him into jumping off the cliffs. Ultimately, Mike's decision to jump helps him overcome his fears. He decides to spend his life with Marguerita.

Lyrics
Guadalajara, Guadalajara...
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
Tienes el alma de provinciana
Hueles a limpio a rosa temprana
Ave de jara fresca del rio
Son mil palomos to case rio
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
Sabes a pura tierra mojada
(Ay!! ja ja, ay, ja ja,aj! ja, ja..Ay!! ja ja)
Aj!!! colomitos lejanos....aj!!!..ojitos de agua
hermanos
Ay colomitos inolvidables, inolvidables como las
tardes
En que la lluvia, des de la loma, ir nos hacia,
hasta Zapopam
AY!! misermano..Ay-ja-ja...Mexicano...
Ay colomitos inolvidables, inolvidables como las
tardes
En que la lluvia, des de la loma, ir nos hacia,
hasta Zapopam
Guadalajara,
Guadalajara...Guadalajara..Guadalajara
Guadalajara....Guadalajara
