Synopsis

The episode begins with both SpongeBob and Patrick in a public pool playing Marco Polo. SpongeBob says Marco and opens up a Bikini Bottomite, only to discover a kid who states he is Joshua. Then Patrick is seen with a group of old people, and the lifeguard says all Shady Shoals residents out of the pool. Clarabelle mistakes Patrick for her friend Mortimer and they both go out of the pool. Patrick realizes he's all wrinkled from the pool, and Clarabelle says everyone has them, and she calls them "Oldie Foldies."

She then walks off mentioning prune ice cream, and Patrick runs after her chanting ice cream into a bus.

SpongeBob, not knowing Patrick has left, continues to shout Marco, until a fish coincidentally named Marco, runs into SpongeBob, which causes he and SpongeBob to get into a fight, because Marco is upset people shout his name without wanting him.

SpongeBob and Marco

The bus arrives at Shady Shoals and Patrick lifts all the Oldies out of the bus and into the building. Then Patrick devours all of the prune ice cream, has a brain freeze, and dies. A nurse rushes in and electrocutes Patrick with a defibrillator and his brain flies out. She then zaps his brain, and it catches fire. The nurse backs off and the smoke from the brain enters Patrick's nose.  He then wakes up, squirts ketchup onto his brain, and then eats it.

Then there is a montage showing Patrick gradually getting more wrinkly and doing old people things, until he becomes a full blown old man!

SpongeBob is in an alley, still shouting Marco, until Marco hops down from his apartment and threatens SpongeBob if he shouts his name again. SpongeBob then goes into a trance in order to become calm and tells the story of Marco's birth, until Marco starts screaming his name when SpongeBob says his parents are naming him, to which SpongeBob replies, "polo." Marco grabs SpongeBob and says he'll beat up the next person who says his name wrongly, and throws him all the way to Shady Shoals, where Old Man Patrick is napping outside.

SpongeBob, still with his eyes closed, taps Patrick and says it's his turn to say Marco. Patrick says he doesn't know who SpongeBob is, so SpongeBob re-enacts the SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song until Patrick realizes who he is. Patrick says he's old now and shows SpongeBob all the things he does now. SpongeBob is disappointed and decides to show the oldies what it's like to be young again.

First, they try to climb a tree, and fail. Then they dance, and fail. Finally, all the oldies start chanting Bunny Buns, so they all go into the restaurant. All the oldies act amiss until SpongeBob soon also becomes so over worked that he becomes all wrinkly and old. He tries to walk and then declares he's, "losing steam," falls on the ground, and steam shoots out of his holes. This steam gets Patrick moist and takes out his dry wrinkles.

SpongeBob is napping outside, and Patrick gives him a blanket. SpongeBob then appears to die, and Patrick puts the blanket over him. SpongeBob then jumps out from the blanket, saying, "Gotcha," and the camera pans away from them.

Clarabelle and the oldies are playing Marco Polo, and Clarabelle says Marco, and Marco drops down from a tree, stating he's going to beat up Clarabelle. Clarabelle then flexes her biceps and punches Marco into the distance, and when he hits the ground he explodes, ending the episode.
