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.

While researching his family tree, SpongeBob discovers that one of his ancestors was a famous chili-slinger named SpongeBuck.

When SpongeBob and Pat sell candy bars door to door, they end up buying more than they sell; superheroes visit.

Sandy gives her friends special saltwater trees, but they need more attention than she expected; SpongeBob and Patrick mistake a burglar for the tooth fairy.

Gary has a pet translation collar, and he's talking up a storm; when a small clown gets left behind by the circus, SpongeBob takes the hapless harlequin under his wing.
