Squidward finishes making a sculpture of himself. Meanwhile, outside, SpongeBob and Patrick are playing a game. They throw a clam but it hits Squidward's sculpture. They go in Squidward's house and panic because they think that Squidward is dead. They try to fix the sculpture but it melts. Squidward comes out of the bathroom with white powder on him so they think he is a ghost and agree to do everything he commands. Squidward tells SpongeBob to play a song with tissue paper but SpongeBob can't. As punishment, Squidward forces SpongeBob and Patrick to clean his back room. It is full of junk so Patrick asks how they will clean the mess up. SpongeBob rips the wallpaper off and the room is clean. He sees a comic book on the floor. He opens it and it says that the Flying Dutchman was used as a window display when he died and that he haunts the sea because he was never put to rest. SpongeBob says that he and Patrick should put Squidward to rest. However, Squidward doesn't want to be put to rest. When SpongeBob and Patrick try to bury him, Squidward confesses that he's not dead and that they should leave him alone. SpongeBob says that Squidward is a ghost in denial and that he needs their help. Later, when Squidward is lying on his chair, SpongeBob encloses him in a bubble and he floats to the surface. Squidward finds out he is with seagulls and the episode ends.

Squidward is proud of having just finished his wax sculpture of himself and declares he has "conquered all artistic medium" (referencing a large diversity of art styles and reproductions of famous pieces which all have Squidward for subject). While he goes to take a bath, SpongeBob and Patrick throw a shell with which they are playing Frisbee into Squidward's house, and it hits the sculpture. SpongeBob and Patrick think they've injured Squidward, and after several humorous attempts to "resuscitate" him, they believe that Squidward is dead. Squidward, fresh from his pampered bath, dramatically emerges in a rush of steam from the warm bathroom, wearing talcum powder and a white bathrobe and towel. SpongeBob and Patrick believe they are seeing Squidward's ghost and, hoping to avoid any haunting or punishments, place themselves as Squidward's willing servants. Squidward gleefully takes advantage of the situation, having them serve and pamper him, do chores, and simply entertain him. Eventually, SpongeBob and Patrick, while entering a "messy" room, come across a comic book inspired by the story of the Flying Dutchman (who haunted the seas because his body was used as a window display in a clothing store), and decide that since Squidward is a vengeful spirit, he needs to be put to rest. Thus, SpongeBob and Patrick try to give him a proper burial as well as a funeral. Squidward eventually admits his charade, but SpongeBob and Patrick believe that Squidward is simply in denial about his death.

Squidward is proud of having just finished his wax sculpture of himself and declares he has "conquered all artistic medium" (referencing a large diversity of art styles and reproductions of famous pieces which all have Squidward for subject). While he goes to take a bath, SpongeBob and Patrick throw a shell with which they are playing Frisbee into Squidward's house, and it hits the sculpture. SpongeBob and Patrick think they've injured Squidward, and after several humorous attempts to "resuscitate" him, they believe that Squidward is dead. Squidward, fresh from his pampered bath, dramatically emerges in a rush of steam from the warm bathroom, wearing talcum powder and a white bathrobe and towel. SpongeBob and Patrick believe they are seeing Squidward's ghost and, hoping to avoid any haunting or punishments, place themselves as Squidward's willing servants. Squidward gleefully takes advantage of the situation, having them serve and pamper him, do chores, and simply entertain him. Eventually, SpongeBob and Patrick, while entering a "messy" room, come across a comic book inspired by the story of the Flying Dutchman (who haunted the seas because his body was used as a window display in a clothing store), and decide that since Squidward is a vengeful spirit, he needs to be put to rest. Thus, SpongeBob and Patrick try to give him a proper burial as well as a funeral. Squidward eventually admits his charade, but SpongeBob and Patrick believe that Squidward is simply in denial about his death. SpongeBob blows a giant bubble that engulfs Squidward and sends him floating up to 'the great beyond', right into a huge swarm of seagulls while Squidward is in a fetal position.
