Douglas "Dougie" Benson, one of Shere Khan's employees, attempts to evict Louie off of his island by forging Khan's signature onto a document authorizing the Khan pilot force to do as he says.
----
!! This episode provides examples of:
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Shere Khan fires Benson for forgery, misuse of company property, breaking a verbal deal, and his soot-covered suit not being up to the company dress code.
* BavarianFireDrill: Benson uses his stolen signature to commandeer Khan's squad of elite pilots as flunkies to try to steal Louie's island (and business).
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Benson manages to strike fear in the hearts of Louie and his customers when he reveals that he's got the Khan pilot force to back him up.
* BerserkButton: Benson absolutely cannot stand being laughed at.
-->'''Benson:''' Stop laughing!
* BigDamnHeroes: ''Shere Khan'' of all people does this near the end of the episode when he stops Benson from blowing up Louie's club by cutting the wires between the dynamite and the detonator.
* BuffoonishTomcat: Despite his intentions, Benson seems rather clumsy and has a lot of slapstick happen to him.
* EdibleAmmunition: Baloo, Kit, and Louie attack Benson and the Khan pilot force by tossing pineapples and coconuts at them.
* DeadpanSnarker: This gem;
-->'''Benson:''' I plan to invest in glow-in-the-dark sunglasses. They’re easy to find during a power failure.\\
'''Shere Khan:''' [[SarcasmMode Fascinating, Mr. Benson]] — and once you've found them, you wear them in the dark?
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Benson's idea for glow-in-the-dark sunglasses doesn't exactly impress Shere Khan.
** Benson forges Khan's signature in order to use one of his squadrons to get Louie off his island so Khan can re-take it, as per the details of Louie's ownership contract. When Khan finds out, Benson claims he did it for Khan's best interests. Khan points out that Benson forged his name, misused his employees (getting several badly injured in the process) and broke a verbal contract, and that his best interests are served by firing him.
* EveryoneHasStandards: As this episode proves, Shere Khan only desires money and power, and avoids intentionally hurting others because it's bad for business. He is outraged with Benson when he finds his pilots injured.
* ForgedMessage: Benson tries to force Louie out of his club by writing a letter that said, "Do whatever Mr. Benson says." and forging Khan's signature, thus making the Khan pilot force think they were on a sanctioned assignment.
* FreudianExcuse: Benson's excuse for wanting to get back at everyone is because he was bullied since he was five years old.
* HandcarPursuit: At one point, Baloo, Kit and Louie run across the tracks on their way to a trap that Louie set up years ago, and the Khan pilot force chases after them on a handcar. Just when it looks like Baloo, Kit, and Louie are cornered, the Khan pilot force crash their handcar into a wall, since Louie had yet to build a tunnel.
* ILied: After threatening to blow up Louie's Place with dynamite and getting Baloo, Kit and Louie to surrender, Benson tried to destroy the nightclub anyway to avenge his wounded pride. Shere Khan arrives just in time to cut the detonator wire, leaving Benson to face his very displeased employer, or rather, ''ex''-employer.
* InUniverseNickname: Everyone calls Benson "Dougie", which he hates.
* KingKongClimb: A variant; Louie, a normal-sized ape climbs to the top of his sign and attempts to swat at the Khan pilot force's planes.
* MilestoneCelebration: InUniverse; Baloo celebrates the fifth anniversary of when Louie opened his nightclub.
* PullingTheRugOut: Baloo, Kit, and Louie pull Louie's grass mat that Benson and the Khan pilot force are standing on to knock them down.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Benson carries a ''huge'' chip in his shoulder for those who ridicule him and he'll stop at nothing to make them pay tenfold once he has the power to do so. Acquiring Louie's island was likely a dubious gain for Khan Industries at best, but Benson doggedly tried to do so mainly because Louie made him a laughingstock at his nightclub. After Khan fired him, Benson tried to get a PyrrhicVictory by blowing up Louie's Place anyway, but was foiled after Kit buried the dynamite just under Benson's detonator.
* ShoutOut: Benson warns Louie that "No one dares to face [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan The Wrath of Khan]]!"
* TemptingFate: When night falls, this exchange occurs:
-->'''Baloo:''' Maybe they won't find us in the dark.\\
''(Louie's sign lights up, causing Baloo to [[DeathGlare glare angrily at Louie]])''\\
'''Louie:''' Hey, it's on a timer.
* WhosLaughingNow: Benson's goal is to get back at everyone who ever laughed at him. [[EpicFail He fails completely]].
* YouAreFat: This exchange when Baloo, Kit and Louie ride a basket across a zipline:
-->'''Louie''': Oh, man. Somebody in this basket could go on a diet.\\
'''Kit''': And his initials are Baloo.\\
'''Baloo''': Hey, [[IAmBigBoned I'm just big for my age]].\\
'''Louie:''' Yeah, right. Must be the Stone Age.\\
'''Baloo:''' I am not that heavy!\\
''(When Baloo gets out of the basket, Kit and Louie are launched upwards.)''
