Carl Punicki is present in the room when Cleveland and Art force their way into the gangster's meeting. Punicki and Frankie Breezy are in the midst of a territorial dispute. When Art tells the men they've come because Cleveland wants a job, Frankie Breezy and Bechstein get angry. Carl Punicki, however, steps in and promises Cleveland a job. The fact that Cleveland is already working for Frankie doesn't set well with Frankie or Joe. In the end, Carl teaches Cleveland how to be a "jewel thief," and sets him up with his first burglary job.... an event that gets him killed.
