Kidnappers

The Kidnappers are the main antagonists of Joe Camp's very first film Benji. They plan to take Paul and Cindy to another country looking at a horse, but instead, they bring the kids into the abandoned house.

Linda was portrayed by the late Deborah Walley, Mitch was portrayed by Mark Slade, Henry was portrayed by the late Christopher Connelly, and Riley was portrayed by Tom Lester.

Role
They are first seen after Benji gets a treat from a cop and comes to the abandoned house. They bring in groceries when they arrive at the abandoned house and Benji hides. After they leave, Benji takes Henry's putting cup.

After Benji meets a white dog named Tiffany, Henry and Riley realize that their putting cup is missing. Mitch decides that the abandoned house will be their hideout.

They later break in and bring a kidnapped Paul and Cindy into the house. Benji rushes to "tell" Dr. Chapman and Mary of the kids' whereabouts but is shooed out by Mary, naturally not understanding the message Benji is trying to convey. Determined, Benji grabs the ransom note that Dr. Chapman had been showing to the police — but it gets taken from him, leaving him at a loss at what to do.

Benji grabs the crumpled note and tries to flee but is grabbed by Mitch. Tiffany rushes out and bites Mitch on the shin, but gets a vicious kick in return that severely injures her.

Benji races back to the Chapmans. Linda, who Benji knows has another copy of the ransom note in her purse, beats him there. As Dr. Chapman makes small talk with Linda (who seems to be friends with the Chapmans), Benji notices the purse which Linda dangles close to the floor. He attempts to grab it, but Mary starts to take him outside. Benji bites her, freeing himself, and snatches the purse, spilling its contents. They find the ransom note. Dr. Chapman confronts Linda and she bursts into tears, knowing she's about to be defeated.

The police then follow Benji on foot to the kidnappers, who are arrested as they leave the house with Paul and Cindy in tow.
