In this short documentary‑style monologue, the narrator recounts the infamous 1978 Lufthansa cargo‑plane robbery and the role of mobster Jimmy "The Gent" Burke. He emphasizes that the heist was executed flawlessly—no one was ever convicted for the Lufthansa theft and none of the cash or gold was ever recovered. The story concludes that the ultimate unraveling of the crime was not due to law‑enforcement pressure but to internal greed, paranoia, and Burke’s strict "no loose ends" policy, which ultimately led to the downfall of the conspirators.

And it was the one rule Jimmy Burke built his empire on. No loose ends. Hey, pumpkin.
