Synopsis
Squidward is at the Bikini Bottom Station, preparing to board a train to the Jetsam City clarinet convention. He runs into Bubble Bass, who is headed to the comic convention in the same city. Squidward is the last to board the train and is unable to get any seats, with the only one left being next to Bubble Bass. Bubble Bass orders fondue, which drips on Squidward and burns him when the train suddenly moves forward. During the ride, Bubble Bass falls asleep and keeps leaning on Squidward.
A woman tasks Squidward to look after her baby. Bubble Bass wakes up, feeling hot, and opens the window. Squidward and the baby are cold, so he closes it. As they fight over the window, the baby eventually flies out of it, to Squidward and Bubble Bass's concern. When the mother returns, Bubble Bass sends her out of the window as well. A ticket taker walks by, and when Squidward and Bubble Bass show their tickets, they also get sucked out of the window. The ticket taker throws them off the train. After hiding from the mother and her baby, who are now seeking revenge, they decide to walk along the tracks.
Squidward and Bubble Bass walk until they find Old Man Jenkins' farm. They see him fixing his plane and he gives them a ride to Jetsam City. Bubble Bass's weight and shaking the plane causes their half of the plane to crash. Squidward and Bubble Bass argue over who has to pull the other there, with Squidward deciding on a coin flip. The coin lands in Bubble Bass's belly button, and Squidward gives up and pulls Bubble Bass to the city.
When they arrive to the city that night, they check in at their hotel. The receptionist tells them they have missed their reservations, and their rooms have been given away. When they break down crying, he gives them a slightly worse room. Squidward still likes the room and relaxes until Bubble Bass tries to sleep next to him. When Bubble Bass snacks and spills crumbs all over the bed, Squidward tries to sleep in the bathroom, but finds that Bubble Bass has already wrecked it. After stepping on a carpet covered in Bubble Bass's body hair, he is unable to get any sleep.
The next morning, Squidward and Bubble Bass argue over whose convention is lamer. They arrive, where both conventions are in adjacent buildings. However, Old Man Jenkins' half of the plane is still loose and flying around. It crashes into the Mermaid Man statue outside the convention and blows up. Squidward cheers at Bubble Bass's convention being destroyed, but the statue comes back down from the sky and destroys Squidward's.
Squidward and Bubble Bass suddenly hear the train leaving and are denied entry by the ticket taker. They use a handcar to travel back along the train tracks. However, the mother and her baby from the train are still after them, as they pedal faster.
