Plot

SpongeBob's adorable smile!

After breaking out of Bikini Bottom Jail by hiding behind a moustache (when he escapes, he wears it like a wig), Plankton comes back to the Chum Bucket, only to be kicked out by Karen. After looking through his things, he finds a guitar. SpongeBob, whom of which was singing along happily to a censored song about the Krabby Patty formula, comes to find Plankton and thinks that he is in a rock band. Plankton happily agrees to it as a plot to steal the formula. Patrick joins after showing a talent of using his belly as kettle drums, following along with Squidward joining because he wants the fame. SpongeBob, Patrick, and Plankton go to "rehearsal", only come to find out that the name of their band is called "Plankton And The Patty Stealers." They receive t-shirts, with Patrick wanting pink to make it look like a tattoo, and start to "write" a song. Plankton tries to get them to write a song about the Krabby Patty formula, but is unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Squidward is lifting weights to get a great athletic body for when he gets famous. A little bit later on, Squidward has a great body, and the "band" heads for the Krusty Krab for their first "gig." Upon arrival, Plankton ditches them to go steal the formula, only to find out that they have been surrounded by police. They catch Plankton and put him in jail. The episode ends with SpongeBob saying that they have 22 more years until the next band practice.
