It is a stormy night in spring as two Englishmen, Staff Sergeant "Froggy" LeSueur and his friend Charlie Baker, enter the log cabin fishing lodge owned and operated by Betty Meeks in Tilghman County, Georgia, two hours South of Atlanta.
Every year, Froggy serves as a munitions instructor for the American army, and this year he has brought his shy and sad friend, Charlie, who is now terrified about being left alone for three days with strangers while Froggy leads his training sessions. Froggy introduces him as a "foreigner" who can't speak or understand English. Overhearing the plot of the Reverend David and Owen Musser to buy Betty's lodge and turn it into a meeting place for the Ku Klux Klan, Charlie ultimately leads Betty, Catherine, and Ellard in a successful fight against these villains that is uproariously zany comedy. It’s fun for the whole family.
