How should the sentence be phrased?

Following the couple's footsteps, the ground caved in and treasures that had been buried underground naturally became exposed.

I think the sentence is not correct, especially the part in bold. Could someone please show how it should be phrased?.

Thanks.

As written, it sounds as if the ground is following the footsteps. We need to mention who or what is following the footsteps. Can you adapt this now to fit your needs?
