The Foreigner
Set in a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, the comedy revolves around two of its guests, Charlie Baker and Englishman Froggy LeSuere. Charlie is so pathologically shy that he is unable to speak. As way of explanation, Froggy claims his companion is the native of an exotic country who does not understand a word of English. Before long, Charlie finds himself privy to assorted secrets and scandals freely discussed in front of him by the other visitors. These include spoiled Southern belle Catherine Simms, her fiancé Reverend David Lee, a seemingly humble preacher with a dark underside, her younger brother Ellard, a simpleton who attempts to teach Charlie English, and Owen Musser, the racist county property inspector, who plans to oust property owner Betty Meeks and convert the lodge into a meeting place for the Ku Klux Klan.
