Plot

It starts out at the Krusty Krab, where SpongeBob gets a krabby patty out of the freezer. When SpongeBob is about to cook the patty, the grill is filthy. So he cleans up the grill and when he is done, he slips on water, which came out of the sink that was running. SpongeBob places a "Wet Floor" sign and just in the moment that SpongeBob checks the sink, Patrick comes in the kitchen and trips on the "Wet Floor" sign and throws the sign away, then checks up what SpongeBob was up to. SpongeBob then realizes that the sink was clogged up by the drain plug. When SpongeBob is about to pull the drain plug, Mr. Krabs rushes into the kitchen, warning SpongeBob to not pull the drain plug. Mr. Krabs then tells SpongeBob and Patrick a scary story about the "Main Drain", in which he describes two kids finding a giant drain plug. The kids pulled the plug, causing the whole sea to end. Mr. Krabs will not tell where the Main Drain is, so he could keep them from finding it. SpongeBob and Patrick then go through town to find advice about the Main Drain. They first ask Plankton, but he pretends to not know where it is for the same reason as Mr. Krabs. Then they find Old Man Jenkins, they ask him where the Main Drain is located, but he does not know where it is. They make transportations to find the drain faster, and they finally find it. But Patrick plans to pull the plug and SpongeBob warns Patrick to not pull it. At that moment, Mr. Krabs and Plankton rush to the two, only to reveal that the two kids were Mr. Krabs and Plankton who pulled the plug. SpongeBob and Patrick sigh in relief but Patrick accidentally pulled the plug; the four tried to escape, but the sea came to an end, sucking everyone in Bikini Bottom down the drain. The plot concludes that it was only SpongeBob reading a story to Patrick.

Trivia/Goofs

• This is the second time Mr. Krabs and Plankton are seen as kids. The first time was in Friend or Foe.
• The title card music is the same as that of New Fish in Town.
• If you listen carefully at the ending, you will hear a plug being pulled.
• The Main Drain is actually small, so how could the sea creatures and the entire Bikini Bottom get sucked in such a small drain?
• Patrick keeps playing background music on purpose when Mr. Krabs is trying to tell the story.
