Plot

When Plankton is stopped by Mr. Krabs from stealing the Krabby Patty's secret formula, Plankton pretends to be hurt after slipping on a wet floor. He threatens to sue unless Mr. Krabs gives him the formula, but Mr. Krabs obviously refuses. The case creates a large disturbance in Bikini Bottom.

Mr. Krabs hires a lawyer, Richard A. Bottomfeeder, to help him out. Later, in Mr. Krabs' office, SpongeBob wants to read his speech to Mr. Krabs. However, Mr. Krabs makes SpongeBob a liability. As they prepare to leave for the court hearing, Bottomfeeder slips and falls, breaking his back. He gives SpongeBob his briefcase, saying, "The one thing you need to win this case is inside that case except for a suit." SpongeBob takes Bottomfeeder's suit and arrives late to the hearing, then dubs himself "SpongeBob LawyerPants." When the first witness takes the stand, SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs realize that Bottomfeeder did not give him the lock combination for the suitcase. The case goes horribly wrong for Mr. Krabs, who is also trying to open the case along with SpongeBob. When Krabs says he is going to give up, SpongeBob gives a short sermon about going on. When he finishes, he hits the case lightly and it opens. They peer inside, only to find a Krabby Patty. Knowing how they can win the lawsuit, SpongeBob calls Plankton to the stand and subdues him with the Krabby Patty, eventually getting him to confess. Plankton then tries to steal the Krabby Patty, but quickly stopped. Even so, the jury goes into deliberation and finds Mr. Krabs "Not guilty (but still very cheap)." SpongeBob then gives Mr. Krabs a homemade "wet-floor" sign, riddled with nails and shoddy paint. Mr. Krabs accepts the gift, because it is free.

Trivia

  • In this episode, Squidward claims he has not had a day off in 3 years. This contradicts other episodes which shows the Krusty Krab. According to SpongeBob, the Krusty Krabs is closed on Sunday.
  • This episode is a spoof of the show "Law and Order".
  • When the title screen shown the music that starts to play is the theme song from the TV show Perry Mason.
  • SpongeBob was usually the one that hurt Plankton, not Mr. Krabs.
  • When SpongeBob asks Plankton in court what he was doing in the Krusty Krab, Plankton responds with, "To, you know, say hello to my once good friend Mr. Krabs. Why?" This may well be a reference to the future episode Friend or Foe. It may be that no one reacted to this because he or she thought he was lying.
  • This episode's second title is Krabs vs. Patty, which means Mr. Krabs must win the battle against Krabby Patty, not Plankton.
