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 has an accident and leaves SpongeBob in charge of the Krusty Krab; Patrick takes a job at the Goofy Goober when he finds out the employees get free ice cream.

Everyone in Bikini Bottom competes in a worm-sled race to the South Pole.

SpongeBob goes on a search after his favorite pair of underwear goes missing; Baby Prunes shares the story of her days as a child star to explain why she despises chocolate.

SpongeBob thinks Mr. Krabs is a robot; SpongeBob and Patrick care for an abandoned baby clam.
