Plankton tricks SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward to help him redecorate the Chum Bucket. Plankton sees this as an opportunity to purloin the Krabby Patty formula, as Mr. Krabs is on vacation. The two remodel the Chum Bucket by dismantling the Krusty Krab, while Plankton fails to retrieve the formula in the process. Mr. Krabs arrives and moves the now Krusty Krab-like Chum Bucket to his place, deserting Plankton.
