After a trio of trolls break out of prison, they attempt to get their loot hidden in a tree. Unfortunately, Calla ends up picking that tree as a gift for her father, the king.
Tropes:
- Bribe Backfire: The Troll leader attempts to pay Gruffi with 40% percent of the gold to be allowed to escape. Gruffi wasn't going to have none of that.
- Hostage Situation: While Gruffi, Zummi, and Tummi go to retrieve the troll's root from the tree, the trolls occupy the glen and force the others to serve them.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Calla chooses a tree for her father's present. However that tree happens to be where the troll's gold is stored.
- When He Smiles: One of the few cases where Gruffi ever smiles. He actually sports a goofy one when Calla gives him a trophy for his selfless deed.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The Troll leader backstabs his companions by forcing them at gunpoint while he takes the treasure for himself.
