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 go on an advertising blitz to drum up business for the Krusty Krab; Mr. Krabs and Plankton circulate petitions about the bulldozing of a Bikini Bottom restaurant.

SpongeBob decides to clean up Bikini Bottom; the Krusty Crew take on cafeteria duty at Pearl's school.

At night school, SpongeBob and Patrick dive into a series of classes on wildly different subjects; Plankton hires Bubble Bass at the Chum Bucket and realizes he can utilize him to get his hands on a Krabby Patty.

A bicycling accident leaves Squidward coated in mud and leaves; SpongeBob tries to impress Squidward with his new magic kit.
