Synopsis[]
The episode begins with SpongeBob and Patrick being kicked out of Glove World! when it closes. As they talk about the day they had, they start to get hungry. SpongeBob wishes they could go to the Krusty Krab but it doesn't stay open that late. However, Patrick slaps him and says it does. It turns out the restaurant does have a night shift, and the customers as well as the workers are different from the usual ones. The two go to the cashier, Squidabeth, for Krabby Patties, but since they don't serve that during the night shift, they order the Great Pacific garbage patch.
SpongeBob wants to thank the cook for making the great meal he ordered, so he goes into the kitchen to do so. However, since he shook the cook's hands so hard, they get hurt and a backup cook is needed as Barry the Blobfish, the cook, is unable to do so. After Nosferatu checks SpongeBob to see if he can take over Barry's job, SpongeBob starts making Krabby Patties. However, the customers who come during the night shift dislike them.
While SpongeBob is trying to find something he thinks the customers will like, the Krabby Patties that were already getting cooked burn and the smoke that came out of them form into the shape of a Krabby Patty. The night shift customers enjoy these and all praise SpongeBob. Afterwards, the fisherman comes to the restaurant to rob their money. SpongeBob stops him from doing so by fighting with him and putting him inside the deep fryer, but it turns out the fisherman was robbing the place because it was their tradition.
SpongeBob apologizes to the fisherman, and the fisherman apologizes back. The fisherman decides to order many night patties, and right after, it's time for the night shift to end. Everyone except SpongeBob then leaves, and Mr. Krabs comes inside, wondering why SpongeBob is at work so early. SpongeBob explains he was helping the night shift, but a confused Mr. Krabs reveals the Krusty Krab doesn't have a night shift and believes he was just dreaming before telling SpongeBob to get to work. The episode ends with SpongeBob sitting on a fish hook, and the French Narrator reveals that SpongeBob had worked a shift in The Tidal Zone, and everything he saw during this time period, including Patrick, was just an illusion.

Green screen[]
According to Kaz, "the show couldn't use stills from [the original 1922 Nosferatu film] (something about a European company owning those rights). But the show was able to hire an actor and make-up person to recreate Max Schreck as Nosferatu (that's actually legal). This turned out better than cut and pasting stills from the movie."[1]
