Plot (in simple terms)

- SpongeBob and Patrick sing “The Jellyfishing Song” while trying to catch jellyfish, with Sandy joining in using her net launcher.
- The jellyfish disappear, a big swarm attacks, and the group is swept away to various familiar SpongeBob locations, including the Krusty Krab.
- Plankton appears, tries to drain the jellyfish’s energy, and defeats them with an electrified cannon.
- The Flying Dutchman arrives, pursues Plankton, and helps stop him. In the end, the jellyfish are freed, and the trio returns to the surface after a final jellyfishing song.
