Plot

Mr. Krabs has a car that spews exhust fumes through a giant chimney on top of the Krusty Krab to cause an "endless summer" so customers come to his year-round swimming pool behind the Krusty Krab (admission: $1.00). SpongeBob is enthusiastic from the idea and supports it by burning tires, and the carbon dioxide emissions significantly boost. After seeing tons of cars and realizing his wax figures are melting, Krabs realizes that Bikini Bottom has become not only a hot wasteland, but an inferno. The sudden heat surprises him, but many fish have come and Krabs is in the pool of water with SpongeBob. As he learns of Patrick, however, that everyone is leaving and are all moving north due to all the heat through the city, Krabs is horrified. SpongeBob makes a cannonball into the pool, but the water ends up evaporating and he hits the ground hard.
