Background

Ben is a factory line worker at the Jolly Dream Toy Corporation in New Jersey.

During the events of Christmas Evil (1980) played by Owen Hollander

28 days before Christmas, Harry Stadling goes to work and tells Ben, another Worker and Jake that no one at the factory is interested in making good, rigidly constructed toys. Ben asks him if he knows who is getting laid off in January and then gives him a hard time for not going to union meetings anymore. Frank Stoller walks up to them and asks if any of them will take over his shift that night as he has to leave early to go on a trip with his wife. None of them agree to take his shift and he walks up to Harry, takes a bite out of his sandwich and says he hates Christmas. At the Jolly Dreams Christmas party, Ben asks Harry how he is feeling and tells him that Frank is bragging to the other workers that Harry worked his shift for him. Harry tells Ben that he has figured out his and the others' tune, but Ben tells him that he has no idea what he is talking about.
