Bad things Elvis put right? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evils

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bad things' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'elvis put right?' is the wordplay.
'put right?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'put right' mean this).
'elvis' with letters rearranged gives 'EVILS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for evils that I've seen before include "Sins and depravities" , "Lives (anag.)" , "transgressions" , "immoral actions" , "Iniquities" .)
