Set in a resort-style fishing lodge in rural Georgia, the comedy revolves around two of its guests, Charlie Baker and Englishman Staff Sergeant Froggy LeSueur. 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. Jason Ross stars as Charlie Baker with John Fionte as Froggy LeSueur.
Before long, Charlie finds himself privy to assorted secrets and scandals freely discussed in front of him by the other visitors. These include spoiled but introspective heiress and Southern belle Catherine Simms and the Reverend David Lee, a seemingly humble preacher with a dark underside. Catherine’s younger brother, Ellard, a chubby and somewhat "slow" boy is a simpleton who tries to teach Charlie how to speak English. The Foreigner also includes Playhouse favorites Weslie Webster as Catherine Simms, Troy Miszklevitz as Reverend David Lee, Daniel Black as Ellard Simms, Carol Irvin as Betty Meeks, and Tommy Hancock as Owen Musser.
