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.

Mrs. Puff sends SpongeBob far away to a driving school in Klopnod; Slappy brings his macabre sensibilities to the Krusty Krab when he's hired there as a server.

SpongeBob and Patrick think their homes have been sold and move away, pleasing Squidward; fortune cookies predict the future, so Plankton uses them for his schemes.

SpongeBob wants to learn about Vikings; SpongeBob leaves boating school to go to a book signing.

Everyone in Bikini Bottom competes in a worm-sled race to the South Pole.
