A square yellow sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary, in the city of Bikini Bottom on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. During his time off, SpongeBob has a knack for attracting trouble with his starfish best friend, Patrick. Arrogant octopus Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob's neighbor, dislikes SpongeBob because of his childlike behavior.

Mr. Krabs tries to sell a moldy Krabby patty; SpongeBob breaks his butt while sand sledding.

Plankton masquerades as Gary to steal the Krabby Patty formula; SpongeBob and Patrick play hide and seek.

When SpongeBob hides the secret Krabby Patty formula in his home, Gary must protect it from Plankton; Sandy must save the day when a freak accident causes everyone in town to become as stupid as Patrick.

The Krusty Krab employees must work around the clock; Mr. Krabs sheds his shell right before the reunion with his old seafaring buddies.
