Moe had not seen Ted for ten years at this point. Moe went to the theatre, reunited with Ted and soon formed an act where Moe jumped up out of the audience and pulled Ted's pants completely off. The act was a huge success and led to the future "Stooges" with MOE, his brother SHEMP HOWARD and LARRY FINE .....
