Plot

After SpongeBob captures a jellyfish in Jellyfish Fields, it does not want SpongeBob to go away. SpongeBob is at first hesitant of taking it home with him, but he later brings it home as a pet. He shows it to an uninterested Squidward, and the two then go into SpongeBob's house.

Inside SpongeBob's house, the jellyfish and SpongeBob dance to pop music, and the boombox's friction causes Squidward's house to shake. SpongeBob goes to bed twelve hours later in the nighttime. The jellyfish, on the other hand, does not want to go to bed and it and SpongeBob fight whether the boombox should be on or not. SpongeBob puts it on a leash and goes to bed. During the night, the jellyfish finds the other jellyfish outside the bedroom window, and it invites them to party in SpongeBob's house.

The next morning, SpongeBob wakes up and notices that his pet jellyfish is missing. He then looks for it. He finally settles downstairs and finds a lot of jellyfishes partying. SpongeBob, angry, tries to get the jellyfishes out his house, but nothing he tried works. Squidward tries to horribly play his clarinet to get rid of the jellyfishes, but they sting him and break his clarinet. SpongeBob heads out with the CD player, but the jellyfishes pull it back toward them. They all pull on it, and the CD player then collapses and breaks. The jellyfishes become angry and sting SpongeBob. Him and Gary rush to hide at the top of the house.

On top of the house, SpongeBob finds out that the jellyfishes calm down Gary's eyes clash together and create a musical beat. SpongeBob then heads to Jellyfish Fields with Gary, who continues his musical beat, and the jellyfishes follow them. SpongeBob and Jellyfish Fields' nature make music which the jellyfishes enjoy. Once the jellyfishes dance to the music they created, SpongeBob and Gary head back home.
