Background

Ed Bennett is from Scranton. He is married to Louellen Bennett.


During the events of Up from the Depths (1979) played by Chuck Doherty

Ed is walking in the ocean when he trips and falls into a mass of intestines. He gets up and scrapes them off and Louellen runs to him and wipes him off with a towel. Oscar Forbes walks up to Ed and Louellen and offers them free drinks as compensation for Ed being covered in the intestines. Louellen tell Ed, when she gets into a mood, she just has to buy something. A wood craft salesman puts out a large wooden statue of a god with a sign that says not for sale. Louellen and Ed walk up to the shop and when Ed asks why the one piece isn't for sale, the salesman tells him it is real. Ed offers him a hundred dollars and Greg Oliver walks up to him and pulls him aside and tells him not to offer more than fifty dollars for it. After buying the carving, Ed walks up to Greg and thanks him and when he finds out he lives on a fishing boat, he and Louellen go to see it. Ed and Louellen go onto Earl Sullivan's boat and he offers them a drink. Earl tells Ed and Louellen about a Japanese family that tried to leave Hawaii in their yacht after Pearl Harbor when it was hit by a bomb dropped by a Zero. He then tells them that all of the jade and gold the Japanese family had is still somewhere in the water. At the hotel, Earl and Greg are having a meeting with Ed, Louellen and Holland. Oscar walks up to them and tells them Earl and Greg are swindlers and orders Earl and Greg thrown out of the hotel. The next day, Greg and Holland dive into the water while Ed and Earl stay on the boat with Roger. Greg resurfaces without Holland and Early tells him a storm took Holland away. Ed and Louellen are telling other tourists about Holland's death when Oscar tells them the luau will be ready this evening. The Monster Fish attacks the resort and Ed and Louellen run away with the rest of the tourists. Oscar announces to the crowd including Resort Guest that Earl has offered a case of Rum to anyone who catches the Monster Fish, but he offers one thousand dollars and a stay at the suite to whoever catches the Monster Fish. Later, Bob Durrell asks Ed and Louellen to describe the fish, but Ed just tells him it was huge. Ed and Louellen get a crossbow and then get into a boat and hunt for the Monster Fish. Ed shoots the Monster Fish with a cross bow bolt, but it doesn't die. Ed and Louellen then celebrate with the rest of the guests when Greg kills the Monster Fish.
