Plot

While jellyfishing in jellyfish fields, SpongeBob and Patrick encounter an object sticking out of the ground. They decided to dig it up, and they discover an old submarine. Meanwhile, at the Krusty Krab, Squidward and Mr. Krabs think of an idea, to bring the Krusty Krab to the customers. SpongeBob and Patrick drive the submarine into the Krusty Krab, which makes Mr. Krabs have SpongeBob and Patrick take the submarine and sell Krabby Patties. Seeing this, Plankton gets upset since he had the idea years ago. He takes the fist of the Chum Bucket and uses it as a mobile Chum Bucket.

SpongeBob and Patrick are unsuccessful with their first customers, so they offer to pay them. Meanwhile, Plankton attempts to sell food to a child, which he insults. The child's parents, great grandmother, Harold, and Jack M. Crazyfish throw rocks at him. Soon, they run out of rocks, but since Patrick wasn't paying attention to the Krabby Patties, they have turned to rocks. SpongeBob and Patrick are able to sell the rock patties, and then head off to sell more.

They fell into an abyss and woke up a sea monster, who has been asleep for the past 79 years. The monster purchases 640 Krabby Patties. Plankton comes along, and attempts to get the monster to refuse the Krabby Patties, but Plankton is mistaken for a dessert (a chocolate eclair) and the monster chases him away. Because they are down in the abyss, SpongeBob and Patrick have to let go of all the money they have earned. Instead they bring back 37,000 pounds of decorative undersea rocks, much to Mr. Krabs' disappointment.

• In the English version, the monster said he didn't eat for 79 years, but in the Netherlands he said 97 years.
• The sea monster was asleep for 79 years, meaning he was asleep since 1929. But when he says the Krabby Patty was the best thing he ate since the thing he ate in '76 it sounds like a really big mistake but it really means that by '76, he meant 1876.
