[edit] Plot

At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob shouts "Yippee! I'm rich! Look Patrick, eight gold dubloons!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Krabs jumps over to SpongeBob, saying that he "saw it first!" He then realizes that SpongeBob and Patrick are playing a board game, and that SpongeBob does not have any physical dubloons. Patrick tells him the name of the game (The Flying Dutchman's Treasure Hunt), and that it's "based on a real treasure map." Mr. Krabs wins the game 17 times in a row, and SpongeBob wants to go home and sleep. However, Mr. Krabs seems to be addicted to the game, and keeps on persuading him to play more. SpongeBob goes to sleep, and the next morning he sees Mr. Krabs in a pirate ship. Mr. Krabs tells him that he's on a real treasure hunt, and SpongeBob and Patrick decide to join him. But they goof off while trying learn how to be pirates, and crash the boat in doing so. They follow instructions on foot until they get to a two-leaved branch of seaweed (it actually has three, as almost pointed out by SpongeBob ("But Mr. Krabs, that seaweed has--"), but Mr. Krabs pulls off a leaf so it only has two). Mr. Krabs also tells them that they're not allowed to look at the map. The map tells them to go 10,000 paces east, and Mr. Krabs asks Patrick which way is east. He looks at a compass, and points west.

After 10,000 paces, there is nothing, and Mr. Krabs says "But we did everything the map said! 10,000 paces east!" Patrick immediately replies "Oh. East? I thought you said weast!" Mr. Krabs is confused by the mention of "weast" and asks "What kind of compass are you reading?" Patrick replies "This one, sir." Mr. Krabs grabs Patrick's compass and realizes that it's actually pointing west ("That's west, Patrick. You're fired again!"). After going around 9,552 paces east, they set up a camp. Patrick and SpongeBob look at the map. They soon realize that it's their board game taped to a piece of old paper. Mr. Krabs catches them, and they beg for mercy outside. However, they find a "X" and start digging. They find the treasure, but Mr. Krabs wants it all for himself and they argue. The Flying Dutchman is woken up, and congratulates SpongeBob and Patrick for saving him "a lot of digging". He keeps the treasure, but gives them two gold dubloons. Mr. Krabs asks for a reward (because he is the captain), but only receives a tiny plastic treasure chest (but, according to the Flying Dutchman, it's based on a real treasure chest).
