Jimmy is a youthful
sailor aboard the SS Venture.
He's the
lookout of the Venture and a close friend with first mate Ben Hayes who he sees
as a father figure. He is much younger and something of a kleptomaniac,
introduced stealing Jack Driscoll's pen when he gets him his lunch. After
making Jimmy return the pen and chasing him off, Hayes tells Driscoll that
Jimmy doesn't mean any harm, and tells him that he found him hiding in a cage
some years ago, with his arm broken in two places, and "wilder than half
the animals in here." Hayes says, further, "He still won't tell me
where he came from, but it wasn't any place good."
In the scene
where Kong attempts to bring back Ann Darrow, Jimmy shoots at Kong with a Tommy
gun but is wounded when Kong throws his boat against a boulder. He is seen
conscious but being held above water by Jack Driscoll, who was also in the same
boat thrown against the boulder. He emerges in the video game, but he is not
able to use guns, in spite of using them in the movie, and is show using a
pistol in a scene before becoming an ally.
