Plot

At the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs calls SpongeBob and tells him they are out of the secret ingredient. SpongeBob retrieves it in a briefcase, but when he opens it he finds that the ingredient is missing and there is a hole in the top of the case. With Patrick's help, SpongeBob questions Plankton, Sandy, Gary, and Squidward who, after the two accuse them, come up with something the complete opposite of their questions. Unsuccessful, the two go back to the Krusty Krab and report their fiasco to Mr. Krabs, who says that SpongeBob stole it and sold it to Plankton. The Cops hear everything and attempts to arrest SpongeBob until Mr. Krabs points at SpongeBob even with the secret ingredient in his hand! The Cops become Furious and demand to know the story. Mr. Krabs says he didn't want to pay $1.99 for the ingredient so he stole it to avoid paying and to frame SpongeBob for the theft. Mr. Krabs is arrested and is then forced to give away Krabby Patties for free all day as a punishment.

Trivia/Goofs

Judge Horace A. Whopper makes his second appearance in this episode. The first was The Krusty Sponge.
The people who were accused, and how they were:
- Plankton: He had his own version of the Krabby Patty, but SpongeBob never explained how he could have stolen it. He was on raw sewage when SpongeBob came.
- Sandy: She used an invisibility potion and snuck in, and used a time freezing ray, to use a laser to cut a hole in the case and get it. Sandy said that she just bought the Krabby Patties.
- Gary: Gary snuck on to one of the choppers, and when SpongeBob stopped to tighten his socks, he shot acid out of his eyes, and stole the ingredient. It was deemed impossible by both of them.
- Squidward: Gary said Squidward was walking out of the Krusty Krab with a black suitcase. Squidward shows them that the case contained his tap dancing shoes, in which he won 3rd place in a tap dance competition
- SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs thought that he set up a decoy, then swept down when no one was looking and stole it, then went to the Chum Bucket, and sold it to Plankton for a dollar.
- Mr. Krabs: He was the one who stole it, because he did not want to pay for it to be delivered. He also tried to frame SpongeBob.
It is revealed that Plankton had every ingredient of the Krabby Patty formula figured out except the secret ingredient, and that it starts with R-Z.
This is the first time Mr. Krabs did not have a lawsuitains without being seen.
Water would have flooded Sandy's dome if SpongeBob were to dig a hole to get inside.
SpongeBob was tending to the cashier, so who was making the Krabby Patties?
If Squidward has four feet, then why did he have two tap dance shoes in the black case?
How can people sneak up on SpongeBob if there are guards around?
This is the third time Mr. Krabs goes to court. The first was in Krabs vs. Plankton, and the second was in The Krusty Sponge.
Interestingly, ever since Season 4, Mr. Krabs goes to court once every season.
How can Squidward lift his own house to get SpongeBob and Patrick out?
This is one of the few episodes where Squidward isn't seen working at the Krusty Krab.
You don't actually have to wait until the end to find out the culprit, because in the beginning, Mr. Krabs said the whole restaurant is running out of the secret ingredient... and showed the the bottle of the secret ingredient to SpongeBob!!!
SpongeBob gives the customers the free Krabby Patties, but they never say how much they want.
Plankton's Krabby Patty is similar to the Nasty Patty (Episode).
Ever since this episode, Patrick is shown to be an ambidextrous. While in Krusty Towers and Patrick SmartPants, he writes with his left while in this episode and Sing a Song of Patrick and Sand Castles in the Sand, he writes with his right.
Did the secret ingredient bottle have anything inside? It looked quite empty. (Just look at the large X on it!)
The title card music is the same as Suction Cup Symphony and Krabby Road.
The Secret Ingredient is shown as one of the ingredients of the Krabby Patty, but on Friend or Foe?, the true ingredients fell to the patty batter after Plankton slammed the door. It's possible that the Secret Ingredient is used to make more flavor to the Krabby Patty.
The case with the secret ingredient in it isn't black. It's brown. Plus, SpongeBob had it. It might have been that Squidward put it in a black case.
Reverse engineering a formula is perfectly legal.
When Spongebob gets the case there is no hole. But when Spongebob panics because the ingredent is gone, a hole just appears.
