The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by "Froggy" LeSueur, a British demolition expert who occasionally
runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time "Froggy" has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man
named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So "Froggy," before departing,
tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone, the fun really begins, as
Charlie overhears more than he should: the evil plans of a man who’s hiding in plain sight and his redneck associate, a secret
pregnancy, and many other damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn't understand a word being said. That
he does, fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play.
