Synopsis

The episode begins at the Bikini Bottom bus depot. Patrick demands restitution from the worker. Said worker informs him that they do not sell balloons, so Patrick asks to speak to the manager. The worker then slams the ticket booth window on Patrick's face. A bus then arrives and drops off some tourists and a tour guide. The tour guide informs them where the bathrooms are and they all rush to them. The guide exclaims that he has to go to and drops his hat when rushing to the bathroom. Patrick then puts on the hat and says that he could be a tour guide. Rube, with his camera, then opens the door of the bus and asks Patrick if he's the guide. Patrick says yes and begins to lead him on a tour of Bikini Bottom.

Patrick first takes him to the kissing stone of the ancients. He claims it brings good luck to anyone who kisses it. He then proceeds to kiss it but it turns out to actually be a woman who punches Patrick and walks off.

Patrick then takes Rube to a hole that he had dug yesterday. Patrick proceeds to sit in the hole and says that it fits his buttocks. He then tells Rube to try it and he ends up sinking all the way in but claims it fits his as well.

Patrick then takes him to a kid eating an ice cream cone. Patrick says that legend has it that the kid used to have an ice cream cone. His stomach then proceeds to eat the kid's ice cream cone. Said kid then angrily kicks Patrick and takes his ice cream back.

Patrick then takes Rube to a man's living room, while he and his twins are watching television. Patrick claims the man called him a bad word once as the man shouts it was because Patrick had tried to eat his mailbox. Patrick claims he thought it was meatloaf as the man tells his twins to kick Patrick and Rube out of their house. The two soar through the air and Patrick claims they are heading towards the fry cook, SpongeBob's house. The two then fall to the ground right outside his house.

Patrick and Rube then begin watching SpongeBob as he sleeps. Patrick claims SpongeBob sucks his thumb but then realizes that he himself actually is sucking SpongeBob's thumb. An alarm clock in Patrick's stomach informs him that it is time for morning lunch. Patrick, Rube, and Gary then begin eating food out of SpongeBob's refrigerator.

Patrick then shows Rube Squidward as he is in the middle of showering. Squidward becomes extremely angry and kicks the two of them out of his house before repeatedly slamming his door, window and one of the clouds. SpongeBob is then seen running out of his house, repeatedly yelling "Late for work!" Patrick then informs Rube it is time for second lunch as they follow SpongeBob.

At the Krusty Krab, Patrick catches Plankton trying to steal a Krabby Patty. He then begins to step on Plankton and Rube joins in. Patrick then enters the kitchen and shows Rube SpongeBob preparing Krabby Patty meat into several different objects. Patrick then shows Rube how to cause the Krusty Krab toilet to overflow, which results in them being kicked out by Mr. Krabs.

At Sandy's treedome, the two drop in and fall onto Sandy's garden. The two then begin drying up without water helmets and rush out through the opening they made at the top of the treedome. Patrick's stomach alarm rings again and Rube says it's time for third lunch. Sandy's treedome then fills up with water, angering Sandy as she watches them leave.

Patrick then goes to the graveyard and shows Rube his dead friend Ol' Ribeye. Rube shakes his hand, which causes his arm to fall off. This angers him and he chases the two out of the graveyard. They run past the bus from earlier and the tour guide notices that Patrick had stolen his hat, so he drives after them. They run to Patrick's house and are completely surrounding by an angry mob who all have complaints with Patrick and Rube. Mr. Krabs informs an officer that Rube has pictures of the Krabby Patty secret formula. Plankton is inside the camera and reveals there is no film. Rube then reveals that neither he or the camera are even there and they both disappear. The surrounding mob then backs away frightened before running off.

The French narrator claims things always get weird in the tidal zone and begins laughing. Rube can then be seen spinning away into the void.
