Plot

It is closing time at the Krusty Krab, which Spongebob declares to be "The saddest time of the day." He finds an extremely old Krabby Patty under the grill, which he comments could've rolled under years ago. He throws it in the bin, but Mr. Krabs refuses to let any patty go to waste and says that SpongeBob is never to make another Krabby Patty until it is sold.

Spongebob continuously tries to sell it, with no takers, resulting in weeks without a customer. Mr. Krabs tries to show Spongebob and Squidward that the Patty is harmless by eating it, and is rushed to the emergency room after a single bite. At the hospital, Krabs dies and is taken to Davy Jones' Locker, the underwater equivalent of Hell, by the Flying Dutchman. Mr. Krabs desperately begs for another chance, promising to become generous, and the Dutchman eventually grants him his life back, on the condition that he must forever be generous. Krabs makes good on his promise, providing excellent treatment to his customers and employees at the "Grand Reopening" of the Krusty Krab, until he sees the extremely high medical bill and realizes that he is making no profits. He instantly reverts back to his old self, and goes on a rampage of greed, culminating in threatening to tear a man's arm off for a penny.

The Flying Dutchman appears to take Krabs back to Hell, but SpongeBob stands up for him to prove his generosity, betting his own soul that Mr. Krabs would not trade Spongebob's soul for money. Mr. Krabs sells SpongeBob's soul for 62 cents, and the Dutchman takes Spongebob to Davy Jones' Locker. Mr. Krabs finally sees himself for the evil man he truly is. However, the Dutchman quickly reappears and gives Spongebob back, not being able to stand his babbling, and saying that having to deal with him is a fate worse than death. At the end of the episode, the Dutchman is seen at Davy Jones' Locker, and gets a phone call from Spongebob, who continues to talk to him.

Trivia/Goofs

This episode's "The Next Day" time card is the only time card ever with main charaters on it. Ironically, Patrick does not appear in this episode outside of the card.
In this episode in Hebrew, Mr. Krabs said that his name is "Shimon Vaza" (which means "Simon Vase").
When Spongebob attempts to serve a customer the nasty patty, there are other people eating in the background.
Other disgustingly inedible patties have been seen in "Nasty Patty", "The Algae's Always Greener", and "To Love a Patty".
After the Flying Dutchman returns SpongeBob, the money on the floor is gone.
When Mr. Krabs is about to eat the bad patty, an ambulance appears, which is a common scene-transition. However, this was not a transition as the camera returns to Mr. Krabs and he says, "Hey, look! An ambulance!" When he actually does eat it, a far more dramatic scene of him being rushed to the emergency room is shown.
This episode was rescheduled to the October 4,2003 date from it's July 7th date.
The Let's Just Play live broadcast after a test card on Nickelodeon aired with this episode and I Had an Accident.
Mr. Krabs' "fake" name was "Harold Flower".
The door Mr. Krabs enters the office through after being revived does not exist in other episodes.
In "Patty Hype", Mr. Krabs expresses concern for tainted patties when he thinks that the green painted patty is spoiled and tries to burn it.

 ==Plot==
-It is closing time at the [[Krusty Krab]], and Squidward is excited about this and makes closing time "the happiest time of the day." However, SpongeBob is disappointed because of closing time and makes it "the saddest time of the day." A couple of seconds later, he finds an extremely old [[Krabby Patty]] under the grill, which could've rolled under years ago. He throws it in the bin, but an automatic machine brings it out and saves Mr. Krabs 5.2 cents. Mr. Krabs says that SpongeBob is never to make another Krabby Patty until it is sold.

-On the next day, SpongeBob has the old Krabby Patty between two buns, and gives it to Squidward, who tries to give it to a customer. The customer smells it and then performs backward flips while screaming until he reaches the exit. Mr. Krabs continuously tries to sell it, but there have been no customers for weeks. He tries to show everyone that the Patty is harmless (the Patty growls and snaps in symbolism that it is dangerous) by eating it, but he becomes sick. At the hospital, the [[Flying Dutchman]] sends Mr. Krabs to Davey Jones' locker because he's cheap. He lets him go after he begs him continuously, and Mr. Krabs is now the opposite of cheap. But after the bill is $10,000 and he's got no profits, he starts reverting back to his old self.

-The Flying Dutchman gets him again, and SpongeBob bets him that Mr. Krabs wouldn't sell his soul for a couple of bucks, to prove his generosity. Mr. Krabs sells SpongeBob's soul for 62 cents. SpongeBob continuously babbles to the Flying Dutchman, and the Dutchman can't stand SpongeBob. He delivers SpongeBob back to Mr. Krabs and when the episode ends, Dutchman appears just outside of Davy Jones' Locker, picks up the phone and SpongeBob continues to babble at Dutchman through the phone at the end, with Dutchman annoyed.

+*Other disgustingly inedible patties have been seen in "[[Nasty Patty]]", "[[The Algae's Always Greener]]", and "[[To Love a Patty]]".
-*This is the third time there was a REALLY disgusting, inedible, Krabby Patty that ever existed in the Krusty Krab. The second is [[Nasty Patty]] and the first was the one Squidward made in [[The Algae's Always Greener]] and a later one in [[To Love a Patty]].
+* After the Flying Dutchman returns SpongeBob, the money on the floor is gone.

-*A poem was included in the beginning of the episode:
-''But it's old, and cold, it's a vary full of mold! You're not to make another patty 'till that one is sold!''
-Usually, the door is in front of Mr. Krabs desk, not to the side, but it could be the door from the kitchen, which doesn't make any sense, because why would he go to the kitchen first?
-*In this episode, Mr. Krabs doesn't care if the patty is tainted. But in "[[Patty Hype]]", he thinks that the green painted patty is gone bad and tries to burn it. This is likely because Mr. Krabs does'nt know that they're called "Pretty Patties", and that they taste like any normal [[Krabby Patty]] should.
