The film starts with a pirate crew, led by Captain Pinty, eagerly awaiting
their treasure: tickets to The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
When they recover it, they sail to the movie theater and sat down at the front
row seats to watch the movie.
SpongeBob SquarePants has a dream of becoming the
manager of the Krusty Krab restaurant and that the restaurant is in
danger because a customer named Phil has no cheese on his Krabby Patty, but
SpongeBob comes in in a limo and puts cheese to the Krabby Patty to save the
day. SpongeBob wakes up from the dream, and happily gets ready for the "Krusty
Krab 2" opening ceremony, with the hope that Mr. Krabs will promote him to general manager of the
new restaurant. At the opening ceremony, SpongeBob is denied the title, which is
instead given to Squidward Tentacles, due to being "more mature" than
SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs thinking that he's "just a kid" and is unable to handle
the task.
Severely depressed, SpongeBob heads to his favorite restaurant, Goofy Goober.
There, he eats numerous sundaes with his friend Patrick Star, and wakes up the next morning with a hangover.
Meanwhile, Plankton, Krabs' business rival, enactes a plot to
steal the Krabby Patty secret formula burger with the dreaded "Plan Z". He
steals King Neptune's beloved crown (which Neptune claims
symbolizes his authority, even though it is obvious he wants to conceal a bald
spot lining the entire top of his head), sends it to Shell City, a hazardous
location to which no marine life has ever returned from and is guarded by a
killer Cyclops, and leaves a note that says "I stole your
crown. Signed, Eugene Krabs". Incensed, Neptune crashes into the Krusty Krab 2
and assaults Krabs. SpongeBob later arrives and bad-mouths Krabs, but, when
seeing Krabs' life is at risk, promises Neptune that he will retrieve the crown
from Shell City, but Neptune doubts that SpongeBob is capable of that. In the
end, though, his compassionate daughter, Mindy, convinces him. He orders
SpongeBob to be back with the crown back in exactly ten days, but thanks to
Patrick, who seems to overestimate his friend, the time is argued down to six
days. So he will not run away, Neptune freezes Krabs with his trident and says
that Krabs will fry if SpongeBob does not complete his task. SpongeBob and
Patrick then head off for Shell City in a car shaped like a Krabby Patty.
With his rival frozen solid, Plankton steals the Krabby Patty formula with
ease. Meanwhile, SpongeBob and Patrick meet two owners of a gas station who make
fun of them for no apparent reason. As the duo push on, their car is stolen by a
thug.
Back in Bikini Bottom, Plankton sells the Krabby Patty and makes a huge
fortune, claiming Krabs willed the recipe to him. He also sends a hitman named
Dennis to pursue SpongeBob and Patrick. Meanwhile, SpongeBob and Patrick recover
the car, but are forced to get the key from the thug, who is in a night club
where anyone who blows a bubble is mauled. They end up blowing countless and are
almost caught, but they escape with the key.
Squidward, meanwhile, uncovers the truth about Plankton stealing Neptune's
crown and attempts to alert the authorities, but Plankton uses mind-controlling
buckets, disguised as souvenirs, to control the residents of Bikini Bottom,
including Squidward, and renames the city Planktopolis.
SpongeBob and Patrick pursued by the Shell
City's "Cyclops" diver.
Meanwhile, SpongeBob and Patrick discover an ice cream stand and buy some,
but it is revealed to be a trap created by a frogfish. The frogfish attempts to
eat them, but they escape by jumping out of the car. The frogfish eats the car,
but is eaten by an eel that lives in a trench filled with carnivorous creatures.
Before the two admit defeat, knowing that they can not cross the trench, Mindy
appears to give them encouragement by falsely claiming they are men, not kids,
by using her "Mermaid Magic" to give them moustaches (strands of seaweed).
Singing a song, SpongeBob and Patrick dance their way across the trench with
ease, only to meet Dennis on the other side. Before Dennis steps on them with
his giant boot, he is stomped on by a human boot. The human, revealed to be the
Cyclops Mindy warned them about, grabs SpongeBob and Patrick and heads off for
his store by the beach, which is in fact "Shell City" itself; (until the duo
returns to the Krusty Krab 2, besides the SpongeBob, Patrick, and the sea
animals, the film is shot in the real
world).
When they arrive, SpongeBob and Patrick find the crown, but encounter a
lethal drying-out process which kills them. However, they shed tears that
short-circuit the heat lamp, which releases smoke and activates the emergency
sprinkler system, reviving them, as well as the other dried-out sea creatures
being sold as souvenirs. While the sea creatures attack the Cyclops, including a
lobster who sprayed Elmer's glue onto him, SpongeBob and Patrick take the
crown out to the beach. After accidentally losing the bag of winds Mindy gave to
return to Bikini Bottom, David Hasselhoff offers the two a ride, which they
gladly accept.
On the way, Dennis catches up to them, but is struck by a catamaran back into the sea. Back at the Krusty Krab
2, Neptune arrives to execute Krabs, while Plankton eagerly watches. In the nick
of time, SpongeBob and Patrick return with the crown, save Krabs, and then
confront Plankton. In turn, Plankton drops a mind bucket on Neptune. Just as
Plankton thinks he is triumphant and has won, SpongeBob, cherishing the fact he
is just a kid yet he accomplished a lot in the past six days, five minutes, and
27-and-a-half seconds, uses his imagination to play the Goofy Goober theme in
the form of a rock song (a parody of "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister), using his guitar to free Plankton's
slaves. Realizing defeat once again, Plankton tries to escape, but is trampled
by Bikini Bottom's citizens.
Plankton is arrested and incarcerated. King Neptune thanks Mindy for her
bravery and unfreezes Krabs, who graciously gives the title of general manager
of the Krusty Krab 2 to SpongeBob. During the end credits, SpongeBob is seen
doing jobs and chores for Mr. Krabs with an oversized Krusty Krab employee
hat.
