Cannery Row Chapter 28 Summary

Frankie hears about the party and decides he'd like to get a gift for Doc, too. He knows just what he wants to get him—a beautiful clock, but it's way too expensive.
So, Frankie decides to break the jewelry store window and take the clock. Naturally.
Of course, he gets caught almost immediately.
Despite Doc's pleading, Frankie is taken away to an institution.
