[edit] Plot

The episode begins with Mr. Krabs' stomach growling as the customers of the Krusty Krab start to get worried. He closes the restaurant and goes somewhere by going under a taxi, while SpongeBob follows him to give him a nickel he dropped.

t turns out Mr. Krabs has gone outside of Bikini Bottom to The Slop Pail, where he orders chum. SpongeBob sees that Mr. Krabs is eating chum and likes it, but he does not understand why. Mr. Krabs tells a story about how during one of his navy days, he barely made it back to his ship alive only to find it robbed of all their supplies (although in actuality, he had slept through the entire day while his crew ate everything) and was forced to eat chum due to being the only food left, and upon eating it, grew to love it.

SpongeBob promises to keep this a secret, and afterwards, the Slop Pail closes as the owner of the restaurant, Sal, wants to become a movie star. This leaves Mr. Krabs with no chum to eat that is not from the Chum Bucket. Back at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob makes several types of chum with different ingredients as he is unable to make the actual chum recipe. However, Mr. Krabs says none of them are right.

Mr. Krabs tries to prevent himself from going to the Chum Bucket, but ends up searching for chum there anyway. Karen and Plankton come outside as they heard a noise, and eventually find out about Mr. Krabs' secret. Plankton gets a plan to offer a lifetime supply of chum to Mr. Krabs in exchange for the formula. Mr. Krabs' chum monkey goes for this offer immediately, and Mr. Krabs goes to the vault to find SpongeBob, who sometimes sleeps in there to be comforted with the formula when feel insomniac.

When Plankton takes the formula, he uses the Chum Bucket glove to prevent Mr. Krabs from taking his chum. However, he gets out and attacks Plankton, causing the formula to sink into the chum. Plankton decides to swim inside the chum to obtain the formula. SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs that he should eat all the chum so he can reach the formula first, and he does so. He gets the formula, but gets extremely overweight, loses his decades-long appetite for chum and accidentally eats Plankton. To pass the time, Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, and Karen watch Sal's latest movie in theaters, as the episode ends.
