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.

Not knowing the contents of Pat's secret box drives SpongeBob crazy; Squidward lies to an old rival about having a band.

When SpongeBob unknowingly breaks a witch's curse, its victim insists on being cursed again; Larry begins to emulate Patrick when he finds out about his secret super strength.

Plankton decides to start a new business selling trinkets and souvenir gifts; Gary starts biting everyone in town.

SpongeBob learns that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; when worms move in to SpongeBob's holes, he has to hide his disgusting new friends from everyone else.
