Background

Jess Littinger is the projectionist at Ruby's Drive-In in Dade County, Florida. He was a member of the Dade County Gang and spent time in prison. Jess was an accurate shooter.

During the events of Ruby (1977) played by Eddy Donno

In Florida in 1935, Ruby Claire and Nicky park their car near the swamp and get out. Shortly after another car with Vince Kemper, Jess, Louie, Barney, Avery and Jake pulls up. Nicky is then shot dead by them. Ruby runs to Nicky and goes into labor.

Sixteen years later, at the drive-in, Jess checks on the film and then starts drinking wine from the bottle. He hears something and things start moving on their own in the projection booth. Suddenly a film strip wraps itself around Jess' neck and the movie stops. The patrons start honking their horns and Ruby drives to the theater. She opens the door to the projection booth and finds Jess dead hanging from the ceiling by film strips.
