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.

Patrick inducts SpongeBob into his prestigious society of dullards and doofuses; Patrick takes his grime to a new extreme, playing around in so much trash that he becomes unrecognizable.

A strange moon turns everyone in town into wild animals, and Sandy is the only one who can save them; Patrick is sleepwalking, and SpongeBob is unable to wake him up.

SpongeBob can't shake a group of elves who want to repay him for a good deed; a mime begins following (and imitating) SpongeBob, much to his annoyance.

SpongeBob experiences a bad luck streak when his lucky tie clip suddenly goes missing.
