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 can't drive, but he learns one does not need a license to operate a self-driving car; Patrick thinks he is an old man, so SpongeBob tries to remind him how much fun being a child can be.

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

The Flying Dutchman takes up residence at SpongeBob's house; the beneficiaries of Sandy's treedome pay her a visit.

Plankton teams up with Man Ray to take over the Krusty Krab and then the world.
