Simultaneously, an Oja (also played by [[Adam le Bonc]]) travels to the same region, having heard of the Gnomes' plans. The Oja have, since the Gnome-Oja war, changed their shape such that they now perfectly resemble humans, except their true form is still revealed when ingesting strong alcoholic drinks. Benno comes to the farmhouse of Oskar Hügel (again played by [[Jean-Yver Forvert]]) and Gertrud Hügel (also played by [[Giles de Sillé]] in drag), where the Oja presents himself as travelling salesman "Benno" and explains that his car has broken down further down the road, ostensibly due to sabotage by the "Ænglish Mafia". The Hügels let Benno in and allow him to sleep on the couch for the night so he may go out the following day and fix his car. Meanwhile, the three Christmas Gnomes have flown in a biplane from [[Australis]] to [[Yonderre]]. The pilot, Boudin, crashes upon landing, bending the propeller beyond use. Dissatisfied with Boudin's performance, the three make their way to the secret lair where they find the key for Santa Claus' music box. However, without a propeller, the three cannot return to [[Australis]], and so must wait while Boudin cuts a new propeller from timber.

In the following days, Benno the Oja searches the nearby landscape for the Gnomes' lair, explaining to the Hügels that his car has mysteriously vanished, oncemore pinning the blame on "Ænglish mafias". The Hügels permit him to stay, sleeping on the couch until he has found his car. Meanwhile, the Gnomes set about using the "Big Book" to rectify social injustices and other problems taking place around the lair. Finally, in episode 11, the Hügels celebrate Oskar's birthday and as part of it serve [[Chevaleueur Vert]]. Though declining at first, Benno drinks the liquour and soon reveals his true form, suddenly growing exaggerated canine teeth and thick lensed glasses. The Hügels do not notice and continue celebrating. That nice, Benno finds the Gnome Lair. The hatch is locked however, and Benno has to lay a trap. The next day, when Boudin comes out to urinate, Benno beats him over the head with a shovel, sneaks inside the lair and steals the Big Book.

With the Big Book in his possession, Benno returns to the Hügel farm and sets about enchanting the World with evil magic. Benno's first course of action is raising the VAT to 100%, grinning evily as he imagines the endless million [[Taler|Talers]] his actions will cost. Meanwhile, the three Christmas Gnomes are panicking over the loss of the Big Book and what it may mean for the future of not just Christmas but the World. They decide to organize a night raid towards the nearby farm where they suspect the Oja is hiding. While preparing for the raid, the Oja drinks himself senseless, the alcohol simultaneously feeding his evil and turning him unresponsive. By the time the Gnomes reach the farm, Benno is fast asleep over top of the Big Book. As Boudin is about to knock Benno over the head with a mallet, Pfeiffer reminds him that "Gnomes don't hurt people". The Gnomes instead take the Big Book and escape under the cover of night. Benno awakens with a terrible hangover, and when he discovers the Big Book is gone, goes ballistic as he rushes out the door.
