Highly entertaining comedy of the "Egg and I" type set in the everglades, Florida. Elvis and O'Connell are son and pa, with orphans in tow including a baby, a set of adolescent twins, and a very grown up Anne Helm. They decide to homstead a piece of highway fill land, bringing on the wrath of "social welfare" officials, the cancellation of their coveted benefits, and a group of mobsters attracted to the state of lawlessness in the "territorial land" (led by the competent Simon Oakland). Elvis becomes the sherrif and accidentally scares the hardened mobsters away, in a bit that must have appealed particularly to the Southern drive-in audience this film was clearly aimed at. Lots of laughs for a packing audience at the Parkway Theater, Oakland California 2002.
