Creek has failed to bring a fondue to today's party and Branch accuses him of party foul. He later finds himself in Creek's shoes.

Guy Diamond is hosting a fondue party. He presents the Fazzlefruit Fondue, but when he takes the lid off, it turns out to be empty. The one who was meant to bring the fondue was Creek who Poppy believes has a legit reason for not bringing it. Branch says that he likely hasn't brought it at all. Creek appears and says exactly as Branch predicts. Creek begins a story about being attacked by a strange creature. Though most of the Trolls believe him, Branch doesn't and accuses him of being a Party Foul.
At the Troll Village library, Branch reads the rules on Party Foul. It is a Troll who shows up without a promised item and a reasonable excuse for it. Poppy asks how they decide and Branch says by a trial.
In the court, Creek stands accused by Branch while Poppy acts as judge. Creek is not worried at all by the court. Milton Moss is brought in as a critter expert and asked how often he sees critters that he never saw before. As it happens, four appear in the courtroom. Branch loses his second round of the court when Cooper forgets who Creek is and starts describing Branch, leading to the other Trolls becoming suspicious of him instead. Everything looks fine for Creek, as Branch is struggling to prove he is a Party Foul, but it falls apart for Creek when he starts to describe the creature that attacked him, and there is inconsistency with his earlier accounts.
Poppy calls for a recess, and the Trolls take a break. When they come back in, the jury gives their verdict of guilty to Creek and sentence him to "do better next time". The court adorns with the party restarting at 3:00pm and Poppy asks Branch if he is happy. Branch sings about it and states he will bring the fondue this time.
Branch brings the fondue later for the party, but is attacked by the same creature Creek described earlier, even down to the details Creek changed later on. Branch realizes that Creek was telling the truth. Branch activates a trap, but instead of a net, a note from Cooper drops, saying he owes Branch one net.
While fleeing the creature and being forced to give up the fondue in the process, Branch runs into Creek, who says the creature doesn't want him; it wants the fondue. Branch states he already gave it, but Creek states he got some of the fondue on him, which is why the creature kept chasing him. Creek pulls Branch's leaf vest and chucks it away. The creature goes after it and leaves the pair alone.
For saving his life, Branch owes Creek, with Creek saying he can make up for it by telling everyone the truth. He reveals they are only a bush away from the party, and the others wonder where the fondue is. Branch has to tell them what happened and Creek is eager for him to say he was telling the truth. But instead, Branch states he ate it to Creek's dismay.

*The courtroom scene is a parody of Judge Judy.
*A "Tall Tale", of which this episode's title is based on, is a story that's not only a lie but an exaggeration, and is often overdramatized to make the person telling it sound in better light.
*When Guy Diamond appears as Creek's defense lawyer, he makes a pose similar to that of Phoenix Wright. He also has his hair in a way that resembles the wigs worn by British lawyers in a court of law.
*A storyboard animatic version of the Court scene was put up online.https://vimeo.com/526623862
