Meaning of a sentence

The sentence (taken from an US movie of the sixties) is: In case you find that friend of yours, will you tell him that Harry Jones said ‘have dream and suitcase, will travel'.

In this context what's the meaning of "have dream and suitcase, will travel". I haven't heard this expression or coined phrase before. Thanks.
