This "basket" is really called a "film positioning disc" and it positions the film so that the film's sprocket holes line up properly with the camera's sprocket wheel. If it is not in the correct position the film will not advance correctly (maybe even jam) and the sprocket wheel will tear chips off the film. These chips make their way inside the camera and havoc generally ensues.
