[edit] Plot
Moe and the Big Exit tells the story of Moses, or Moe for short (played by Larry the Cucumber), a cowboy living a privileged life while his relatives dig the Grand Canyon as slaves. After Moe stands up to the zucchini foreman who are over his family, he escapes to the hills fearing for his safety. After a time, he runs from a bear and jumps into a well only to pulled out by a Native American named Sally and her buffalo Zippy. Moe soon meets Sally's parents and eventually marries her. Some years later, a "burning tumbleweed" appears before Moe and tells him to return to Dodgeball City and save his people. Talking to the tumbleweed, Moe explains that he can't speak in public and "imagining them in their underwear never worked". The tumbleweed then tells him that someone to speak for him will be sent, so Moe sets off for Dodge Ball City wearing a masked costume so as to not be recognized. While going through the desert, he finds his brother Aaron (Archibald Asparagus) who works as a souvenir salesman. Arriving in Dodge Ball City with Aaron, Moe tells the mayor (Mr. Nezzer) to "let my people go." However, the mayor rejects his demands and trouble ensues (such as rivers turning into tomato juice, a plague of prairie dogs, grasshoppers eating Mayor Nezzer's lunch, cattle falling dead, pink pimples, twisters, and first-born babies being taken by the river). Finally the Mayor lets Moe's relatives leave. Having second thoughts, the Mayor chases after them with his carrot army. Moe lifts his stick in the air and yells "Hi - Ho Sliver Away" and before them it starts snowing. The mayor tries running after them, but the snow melts and Mayor and his army are left in the frying sun. Sally and her family run to Moe and are reunited again.
