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.

The gang heads to a food convention, but things go awry when they become stranded in the woods; SpongeBob accidentally fibs to his pen pal, but when his friend comes to visit, he must keep the ruse going.

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

SpongeBob wants to catch an ultra-rare jellyfish and enlists the help of former jellyfishing champion, Kevin; on a trip to the museum, SpongeBob and Patrick teach Sandy all about Bikini Bottom's fascinating, yet questionable, history.

Sandy leads the scouts through space for scientific exploration, where SpongeBob finds life exists in the form of a Krabby Patty, Sandy studies the moon's gravitational effect on nuts, and Squidward goes to the dark side.
