Synopsis

The episode starts at the Krusty Krab, where some weird sounds are coming from Mr. Krabs' office, making some fish at the restaurant think he's in trouble. SpongeBob tries to save Mr. Krabs but the latter ends up slamming the door on him. SpongeBob is thankful Mr. Krabs is okay, but wonders why he's stomach is making a sound. Mr. Krabs gets anxious and tells SpongeBob everything's okay and it's closing time, making him kick all the customers out. SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs that he and Squidward don't want to leave early, while Squidward is running away happily.

Mr. Krabs runs off but SpongeBob finds a coin, which he wants to give back to Mr. Krabs. Mr. Krabs holds on to a taxi to the middle of nowhere and SpongeBob does too, but the latter ends up getting bruised from the trip. SpongeBob sees Mr. Krabs, scaring him since he didn't know he was going to show up. SpongeBob wonders why Mr. Krabs is here, when Sal gives him a bowl of chum, saying it's his usual and he should enjoy it. SpongeBob questions about all these things, making Krabs tell the truth.

Mr. Krabs tells a story about when he was in the navy and it was lunchtime, but he ended up sleeping too long. The younger Mr. Krabs walks to his ship only for the food to have all been eaten and the only thing left is chum. However, upon eating it, he ends up loving it and eats it all the time. After the story, Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob not to tell his love for chum anywhere, especially Plankton. When SpongeBob leaves, Mr. Krabs asks for more chum, but Sal decides to close the Slop Pail so he can become a movie star, which makes Mr. Krabs wonder where he'll eat his chum now.

Back at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob is telling Mr. Krabs he's never made chum, and doesn't know the ingredients. Mr. Krabs tells him the ingredients through a whisper, grossing SpongeBob out. SpongeBob decides that he should make chum-free chum, so later, SpongeBob gives Mr. Krabs some samples of chum with different ingredients in them. Of them, they are chum with Krabby Patty flavoring, chum with snail litter in it, and chum made of wishes and love. However, Mr. Krabs doesn't like any of them as they don't feel like the chum he's used to.

Mr. Krabs walks against a brick wall, sad since the only chum-selling restaurant left is the Chum Bucket. He says he's got too much pride to go there, but ends up digging in a trash skin near the Chum Bucket for chum. Karen and Plankton come out and Mr. Krabs reveals himself. Plankton wonders what Krabs is doing here, which causes Mr. Krabs to try and make excuses, only to end up revealing his love for chum, which shocks Plankton. Karen is also shocked, but Plankton ends up using this to trick Mr. Krabs into giving the formula through offering him a life-time supply of chum.

Mr. Krabs attempts to reject, but the chum monkey inside him goes towards the chum, but Plankton tells him he can't have it until he gives him the formula. Mr. Krabs goes to get it, but sees SpongeBob sleeping around the formula since he can't sleep and the formula comforts him. Mr. Krabs takes the formula and gets out, even though SpongeBob tries to stop him from doing so. Mr. Krabs goes into the Chum Bucket, where there is a humongous barrel with a ladder. Mr. Krabs asks where Plankton is, who says he's on top of the barrel.

When Mr. Krabs climbs the barrel, he sees the entire supply of chum within his reach. However, it turns out to be a trick and Plankton uses the Chum Bucket glove to smash Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob and get the formula in his hands. Mr. Krabs however wriggles out of the glove and tries to attack Plankton, only for the formula to slip out of the two's hands and sink into the chum. Plankton dives into the chum to get the formula, while Mr. Krabs mourns.

SpongeBob decides to encourage Mr. Krabs that Plankton is too tiny and would take a long time to get the formula, while if he just ate all the chum since he loves it so much, he'd get to the formula before Plankton does. This boosts Mr. Krabs' spirits and ends up eating all the chum in the barrel, making him extremely big. He burps out the formula and says he thinks he's lost his taste for chum, with a close-up of his tongue having gravestones being shown. Plankton ends up being eaten by Krabs though, so to pass the time, SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs, Karen, and the chum monkey watch a movie with Sal from earlier starring the movie. The episode ends with Plankton yelling inside Mr. Krabs to get him out of there, only for Karen to shush him.
