Plot
Opening Countertop
The story begins with Bob and Larry up on the countertop. Larry mentions he got an e-mail from a kid named Ezzio from New Jersey about a problem with lying and that he has a story that may help.
Larry-Boy! & the Fib from Outer Space!
After accidentally breaking his dad's prized bowling collector's plate, Junior Asparagus is encouraged (by his new friend Fibrilious Minimus) to cover up the accident. When Junior is forced to continually tell fib after fib to maintain the story, he discovers his new friend has grown...and threatens to take over all of Bumblyburg! Larry-Boy, Bumblyburg's superhero, arrives and vanquishes Fib by telling Junior that God wants us always to tell the truth.
Closing Countertop
Back on the countertop, Larry-Boy pairs with Bob in closing the show with the verse "The truth will set you free." —John 8:32b.
Trivia
- The names of all the streets in Bumblyburg are the names of members of Big Idea Productions, the makers of VeggieTales and 3-2-1 Penguins!; for example, Mike Nawrocki and Phil Vischer. The signs are visible in the opening sequence with the two peas.
