Plot

Plankton is standing next to a pile of chum, when Karen asks him what all of the comotion is about. Plankton tells her that he has created a free sample and is going to let the public try it. Later on a bench, Plankton is announcing that he is giving out free samples of chum. Many people begin taking the free samples, as they are excited it is free. However, everybody is disgusted by the chum's taste and Plankton attempts to flee. Patrick then walks up and eats all of the chum. Meanwhile at the Chum Bucket, there are a crowd of angry citizens. Plankton states that if Mr. Krabs gave away free samples, he wouldn't get the same treatment. Plankton then gets an idea.

Plankton is giving away "free Krabby Patties," which are actually Chum Burgers. The citizens are disgusted once again, but they riot outside the Krusty Krab because they think that they were real Krabby Patties and are angered. SpongeBob suggests that they must give Krabby Patties away for free, though Mr. Krabs does not want to. Nobody shows up to get a free Krabby Patty, so SpongeBob begins playing the calliope. When nobody buys a Krabby Patty, SpongeBob begins saying that they have an all new recipe to attract customers. One fish takes a bite of the Krabby Patty, and he likes it, so more customers begin eating Krabby Patties. The customers begin paying ridiculous amounts for the Krabby Patties, and the episode ends with Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob making money angels.
