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.
Squidward gets left with a mess when SpongeBob and Patrick use carrier clams to send messages to each other; after cooking his kazillionth Krabby Patty, SpongeBob believes he's developed an allergy to them.
SpongeBob blows bubbles; SpongeBob accidentally rips his pants while trying to impress Sandy Cheeks at Mussel Beach.
Plankton steals Sandy's pelt to impersonate her; Plankton tries to launch himself into Mr. Krabs' head and misses his target.
Mr. Krabs manufactures Krabby Patties on an industrial scale, but it drives a wedge between SpongeBob and Patrick.
