Plot
The episode begins as Squidward happily hums to himself while gleefully tossing out newspapers to his customers. Everybody seems to love him, with even a neighborhood guard worm approaching him and surprisingly acting extremely friendly. All seems to be well, until he delivers to the Star house. Cecil takes his paper and refuses to pay, continuously foiling Squidward's attempts to get in. Suddenly, Granny Tentacles calls to Squidward from across the street. When Squidward goes in her house, she tells him to be persistent with getting his paper money. She shows him a history book of Tentacles family members who refused to be stiffed, including even Granny Tentacles herself.
Granny and Squidward go into Cecil's house and chase him down. Cecil hides behind the wall, but Granny tracks him down through some mustache shavings he left behind. Cecil flips the wall around, flinging Squidward and his grandmother into an open dryer. Bunny unknowingly turns the dryer on, spitting out the two of them as a fuzzy ball, which Patrick uses to play basketball.
Cecil goes to shower, and Granny and Squidward overhear him singing. Granny revs up Squidward's legs like a propeller to get them both up the stairs. They pull the shower curtains open to catch Cecil, but he escapes down the drain. As they try to leave, Tinkle stops Squidward, licking him affectionately. When Squidward calls Tinkle unsanitary and tries to leave, he bites his leg off.
Cecil escapes into GrandPat's room. GrandPat reveals that the Star family have never actually paid for a newspaper, which were delivered by Squidward's ancestors. He tells Cecil that Granny Tentacles won't give up until she gets the money she wants. While Squidward and his grandma are cracking open a safe (which, unbeknownst to them, contains the real money), Cecil calls them into the hallway. He smacks the letters off the newspaper and says there is no ink on it, so Granny squirts some through her nose to make a new article appear. She threatens Cecil, who fearfully points them to a stack of cash on a table, and runs away.
Squidward collects his money, and cries tears of joy. His tears melt the cash into a green puddle, revealing it was just made of paper-maché. Granny makes him cry on other pieces of furniture, only to melt the entire house. She sees GrandPat spraying the house with a hose outside, compliments his intelligence, and waves to him.
Granny and Squidward duck as the house starts collapsing, and it falls on a heap onto GrandPat and Cecil. They get paved into the road, and a new newspaper is left behind. Squidina excitedly picks it up and reads the comic: Mr. Star and the Paper Boy, a recreation of the episode. She enjoys it, then folds it into a paper hat and wears it. On the newsprint, Granny is chasing Squidward, insisting that she will still get the money back, although Squidward doesn't believe it.
