'Follow That Dream' was based on Richard Powell's 1957 novel 'Pioneer, Go Home', the story of the Kwimper family, who homesteaded on land along a newly built highway in Florida. In a deviation from his usual musical comedy character, Elvis Presley was Toby Kwimper, a L'il Abner-type in a family of bumbling rural Southerners. The Kwimpers, consisting of Pop, Toby, and several adopted orphans, claim squatter's rights along an unopened stretch of highway and open a small business renting fishing equipment. Gamblers attempt to take advantage of the Kwimpers' trusting nature.
