Plot

The episode starts with a figure like Plankton opening the safe for the formula inside the Krusty Krab. It is actually Mr. Krabs when SpongeBob turns on the light. Then Squidward comes in says "Hi", but leaves soon after because Mr. Krabs asked the two employees if they could work on a mission. SpongeBob accepts the mission in a loud manner and soon after, Patrick joins in loudly. Mr. Krabs gives them both a talking Krabby Patty.

Back at SpongeBob's house, SpongeBob and Patrick use the patty to listen to the mission followed by a self destruct notice. To get the Spy Gadgets, they go to the Treedome to get weapons and gadgets from Sandy. She shows them all her gadgets and says that the boys can't use them, but Patrick uses Sandy's favorite gadget, the "Knockout Ray," to put Sandy to sleep, allowing them to take the Gadgets.

They go downtown and check out what Plankton is doing. He enters the shop, Guppies 'R' Us. Nothing is too suspicious. Then Plankton buys a stamp and SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs all the stuff he has done. Later on, SpongeBob and Patrick are "quietly" behind Plankton although he can hear them. Eventually Plankton gets burned due to magnifying glass SpongeBob had been using to allow close attention.

Later, at night time, SpongeBob and Patrick are at the Chum Bucket roof trying to get in the "spy way". They get caught by Plankton and get a menu to eat. Patrick needs to go to the toilet and he becomes very tempted to go, until instead of that, the laser gun down his pants fires and destroys the Chum Bucket. Plankton gets out a blimp from under the restaurant and he hovers over the Krusty Krab, making Mr. Krabs thinking that night had come early. Squidward said that it was the time of the month for Plankton to strike again. When Mr. Krabs tells the people to get into their positions, Squidward runs into the Men’s Toilet. Mr. Krabs said that if Plankton wanted customers, he could have them , and sucks random fish into a cannon and hits the blimp, causing it to blow up and destroy the restaurant. Plankton then says "I always win!" SpongeBob replies and says that Plankton never wins. It is then revealed that Plankton was Mr. Krabs in disguise, Mr. Krabs was a robot and inside was Plankton. The reason given is that they both had bet that Mr. Krabs could steal his own formula, playing the role of Plankton, and vice versa.

Then Patrick says "Not so fast!" and rips off a costume, revealing him to be Squidward, then SpongeBob questions another Squidward and rips off his skin (revealing him to be the real Squidward). The fake Squidward then takes off his costume, becoming Sandy, then takes off that costume to become SpongeBob. SpongeBob then takes off his disguise and turns into Patrick, but it turns out to be a joke and they both rip off their costumes and turn back to normal. They all laugh until another Patrick comes in and bewilders SpongeBob, ending the episode.
