Plot

Tired of being a nuisance to everybody, SpongeBob packs up his things and runs away. But on his trip, he literally trips and hits his head so many times, that he loses his memory. Back in Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob's friends discover that SpongeBob has left, so Mr. Krabs hires Squidward to look for him for a jeweled egg for Squidward's collection.

SpongeBob, meanwhile, wanders into New Kelp City, deciding that his name is CheeseHead BrownPants. He then decides to blow bubbles, which angers a group of gangsters called the Bubble Poppin' Boys. They chase him down the streets until SpongeBob reluctantly captures them by trapping them in a bubble. He is then pictured as a hero by the citizens of New Kelp City, who elect him mayor CheeseHead BrownPants.

After Squidward, Patrick, and Sandy finally find SpongeBob in the middle of a speech, Sandy and Patrick try to convince him to come back by getting them to remember them, but he does not remember anything, and states that he is late for a meeting. He then gets into his private car, but the driver turns out to be Squidward (who is desperate to get the egg). He drives the group back to the Krusty Krab, where SpongeBob refuses to be fry cook. Squidward then trips with his new egg, which lands on SpongeBob's head, causing him to remember everything very clear. As seen on TV, with Perch Perkins as the news reporter, the citizens of New Kelp City are angry at SpongeBob for leaving them, so SpongeBob decides to remain fry cook rather than go back to being mayor. Then Squidward puts his brain in the trash can. Everything is back to normal.
