Mr. Krabs is about to open the Krusty Krab, but no one shows up. A commercial reveals everyone is at the Sea Chicken Shack, a new restaurant which opened that is attracting all of Mr. Krabs' customers.
As a result, he sends SpongeBob to find out what is making them more popular than them. He arrives at the restaurant in a disguise even though he didn't have to. He tells Mr. Krabs that the place is a dump and it smells bad (though the latter could be because Charlie has just run a marathon). Afterward, he gets thrown out when he violates their "No sweatbands rule." The large, outdoor Mr. Seachicken statue is revealed to be the main attraction of the restaurant which is why everyone is going there rather than the Krusty Krab.
Mr. Krabs decides he needs an artist and lists people after SpongeBob says he knows one until an annoyed Squidward speaks up and he is revealed to be the person SpongeBob knew. Mr. Krabs belatedly recalls Squidward being an artist and asks Squidward to make a statue of him. Mr. Krabs makes various poses and Squidward keeps saying no until Mr. Krabs holds his arms in the air, and Squidward finds the perfect pose.
It takes Squidward almost one day to finish making the statue. He has Mr. Krabs stand in one position with his hands up in the air for all that time, but Mr. Krabs isn't pleased when the statue is finished. The final result expresses what Squidward may actually feel about Mr. Krabs, as it has spikes and a second mouth near the stomach area. SpongeBob plays on it after Mr. Krabs tells him to make sure it's safe, but it falls on him, which causes an annoyed Squidward to respond with "This is art! Not a swing set!" The statue is not as safe as a playground object, and it is revealed that it could result in a lawsuit.
SpongeBob then decides to paint Mr. Krabs gold so the children can play on him instead of the statue, with the episode coming to an end once SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs that he is "golden."

Mr. Krabs' safe is located on the top corner of his wall in this episode when it is usually located in the middle.
When Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that he can turn the sign, SpongeBob says "You don't mean?" and Mr. Krabs replies "Oh, I mean." This line was used before in the first movie in an exchange between Patrick and SpongeBob respectively.
In Indonesia, after SpongeBob says "Then, like a whisper, I am gone," it cuts straight to the scene where Mr. Krabs says "Are there any unique or interesting amenities that might attract me customers in any way?"
When SpongeBob starts talking to Mr. Krabs, Nat Peterson is in front of him. Then, when he starts talking about the smell, Charlie is shown in front of him instead of Nat.
When Mr. Krabs guesses Larry, the closed captions misspell his name as "Harry."
When Squidward is done with the masterpiece, Mr. Krabs is naked, but when Mr. Krabs walks over to see it, he suddenly has his clothes on.
