History[]
Franklin is first greeted by Jem and The Holograms when he is in the middle of an angry phone call with his banker. After overhearing the majority of the conversation, Jem suggests that he is being extorted, and he agrees, and since Eric Raymond had opened a new resort not far from his own, he was slowly losing business. Howard Sands, a friend of Franklin's, had sent Jem and The Holograms to gather some visitors and perform a concert at the lodge.
Unfortunately, Franklin's resort had been undergoing several sabotages by Eric's henchmen, with no evidence to prove it. When The Misfits arrived, the accidents only got worse, and started to drive away the only business Franklin had left. The Misfits then decide to have a skiing contest against Jem and The Holograms.
