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.

Mr. Krabs is forced to give out free food to win back customers; SpongeBob needs all of his friends to help him remodel his pineapple home.

Plankton tries to befriend Squidward so he can get the Krabby Patty formula; the citizens of Bikini Bottom clamor for Patrick's artwork after an art critic praises him.

SpongeBob has trouble letting go of a perfect Krabby Patty; Squidward's personality changes when his security fence electrocutes him.

Plankton joins the League of E.V.I.L.; SpongeBob and Patrick take Squidward on a plane to a tropical resort.
