Role in film[]
Benny first appears when Eddie Valiant and Roger Rabbit escape from Judge Doom and the Toon Patrol in the Bar Terminal, and then encounter him locked up in their paddy wagon for driving on a sidewalk, despite going for a few miles as claimed by him. They free him and he helps them get away, taking them to a movie theater to hide. He later appears when Eddie and Jessica Rabbit are trying to flee from the Toon Patrol and again tries to help them out, but this time, the dark and cruel Judge Doom spills Dip across the road he drives along, injuring him and making him blow out his tires as he skids off the road and crashes head-first into a pole. After Eddie and Jessica are taken hostage, he lies still recovering and joins up with Roger when he happens to pass by in Eddie's car, taking over the job of driving and explaining to Roger what has just happened. He drops him off at the Acme Factory and drives off to find help. He is last shown at the end of the film in the Acme Factory, listening with Dolores, Lt. Santino, and some human policemen about what Eddie found out about Judge Doom and rejoicing over the discovery of Marvin Acme's will.
