In 1945 Baron Reisenberger and Carmine Barzini is forced to pay money to the Corleones.

The Barzini family's social club of choice, it was run by Baron Reisenberger, and was known to be a hot dancing joint, favoured by the wealthy and influential of Midtown. However, the nightclub was only a front for the Barzini family's wheeling and dealing, specifically their exotic car business, owned by Carmine Barzini, the Don's cousin's son.

During the winter of 1945, the Colonial Club was taken over by the Corleone family.

A slightly deranged German fellow going by the name of Baron "Von" Riesenberger runs this, the hottest dance club in Midtown. This is also the perfect cover for Carmine Barzini (second cousin to Don Barzini himself) to wheel and deal in slick new motor cars.
