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.

While working the graveyard shift, Squidward tells SpongeBob a scary story about the Hash Slinging Slasher; Mr. Krabs is smitten with Ms. Puff.

SpongeBob and Patrick are sent to jail in the underground tunnels of Glove World, leading to a daring escape.

Once Fred's leg heals up, SpongeBob is determined to keep it out of harm's way; Patrick's lemonade stand is unsuccessful until he gets a secret ingredient from Squidward.

SpongeBob embarks on an epic journey to have his beloved spatula reforged by the legendary Guru Greasetrap; SpongeBob builds a snail-house outside for Gary to play in while he is at work.
