Percy works in the maintenance department of Crumbs Custard Factory. He likes custard so much that he has his own private custard-making machine at home. One evening, Percy fails to notice that his vat has sprung a leak, and is spurting custard on a courting couple outside his apartment. A mob breaks into his room, smashing up his vat. Driven to revenge, Percy decides to flood the city with custard.

TELLING TALES is about the failing marriage of an industrialist and his wife, about the industrialist's wish to sell his company to a colleague, Paul Roberts, and about the terminally ill wife of Paul, Ingrid. It is also about the shop steward organising a strike at Paul's factory that jeopardises the deal with the industrialist, and about the wife of the shop steward, who happens to clean and cook for the industrialist. A network of intertwined tales told in different ways, and for very different motives, by the main protagonists.
