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.

SpongeBob and Patrick take Squidward jellyfishing; SpongeBob is a victim of Plankton's scheme.

After a misunderstanding, SpongeBob and Patrick try to prove their life insurance protects them from any danger; when SpongeBob blows himself a bubble boat, everyone in town starts to want one.

Squidward turns SpongeBob and Patrick against each other; boat-driving exam.

Plankton closes the Chum Bucket and moves to a new town, but Mr. Krabs suspects he is still up to no good; when SpongeBob accidentally picks up Neptune's magic trident, there is no telling what trouble he may cause.
