Seaman Benson (played by Frank Faylen) appears in Nazty Nuisance.
An American sailor whose supply ship is sunk by a German U-boat, he reaches Norom with Captain Spense and the crew.

He ultimately ends up stuck headfirst in the island beach alongside Hitler and Mussolini. Kela (played by Jean Porter) appears in Nazty Nuisance.
