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.

Bubble Bass avoids paying his bill at the Krusty Krab, so SpongeBob and Squidward are sent to collect the cash; Mr. Krabs makes SpongeBob and Squidward cook a fancy meal for Mrs. Puff, but every dish becomes a dispute.

Squidward spends a day at the laundromat with his fellow Bikini Bottomites; SpongeBob and Patrick must track down Old Man Jenkins' prized worm hog.

SpongeBob watches Mr. Krabs' house while he's away and takes extreme measures to make sure no one breaks in; Squidward is forced to room with Patrick.

Mr. Krabs tries to sell a moldy Krabby patty; SpongeBob breaks his butt while sand sledding.
