Role in episode[]
Plankton comes to SpongeBob and tells him his idea of making a band, and SpongeBob likes the idea. SpongeBob then invites Patrick and Squidward to be part of the band, and they both agree, with Squidward lifting weights in order to become muscular for the many fans he thought the band would have. None of the other band members realize that the words "Patty Stealers" mean it is one of Plankton's plans to steal the secret formula until they catch him in the act.
At the end of the episode, SpongeBob turns Plankton to the police and he is sentenced to 22 years in jail, while also having to practice with the other band members for their upcoming gigs.
