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 issues a restraining order against SpongeBob; Plankton mistakenly believes that a piece of art is a stolen Krabby patty.

The Flying Dutchman takes up residence at SpongeBob's house; the beneficiaries of Sandy's treedome pay her a visit.

Plankton steals Sandy's pelt to impersonate her; Plankton tries to launch himself into Mr. Krabs' head and misses his target.

SpongeBob and Patrick sneak into the Treedome; Gary follows Patrick around, and SpongeBob becomes jealous.
