Moe discovers Curly's unknown boxing talent when he knocks out the Champ at a restaurant when Larry plays "Pop Goes the Weasal" on the violin. Moe becomes Curly's manager, and they win every fight, with the help of Larry. At the championship game, though, Larry's violin breaks.
The script for Punch Drunks was written by the Stooges, credited as "Jerry Howard, Larry Fine and Moe Howard". According to Moe, the initial treatment of the script was originated by Moe; on its strength, the studio decided to produce the Stooges' next film sooner than scheduled. The comedians released 190 short films for the studio between 1934 and 1959.
For anyone not familiar with the Stooges, this makes for a great introduction. Moe is not at his meanest, but Larry and Curly are doing their thing to the fullest extent. This was the height of slapstick comedy in the 1930s.
