Plot

At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob SquarePants sees that Eugene Krabs is watching a crime movie. Mr. Krabs starts to talk about how bad thieves are, and then SpongeBob and Patrick Star start asking him about all the things he stole, and Mr. Krabs says he "borrowed" everything. Later that day, SpongeBob and Patrick see a balloon stand. Since they have no money, they decide to "borrow" a balloon. They sneak it away, and it immediately pops. Because they can't return it, they think that they are thieves. They realize that it isn't safe to stay in Bikini Bottom. They leave and walk into the distance by foot, leaving everything from their home town behind.


That night, they begin to miss everyone and all the fun things that they used to do at Bikini Bottom with all of their old friends that they will deeply miss. But then they look at the positives:

  1. They can loosen their ties.
  2. They can fly (well... not yet)
  3. They never have to shave.
  4. They can talk tough.
  5. The best part is that they no longer have to return anything that they borrow.

SpongeBob and Patrick realize that being a criminal will be... well... fun! But then Patrick says that they will need to get some food to start off. SpongeBob already has with him two candy bars, possibly enough to last them their whole life-until Patrick eats the whole thing in one bite. Five seconds later, he tries to take a bite out of it. But he sees that it is no longer in his hand (he doesn't remember eating it). When he sees SpongeBob's bar he thinks that it is his and that SpongeBob stole it, just like he stole the balloon all those hours ago. With both of them against each other now, there's only one thing left to do. One of them has to get blamed for stealing that balloon.


They both run back to Bikini Bottom and to the police station. Before one of them can be blamed, they both confess together. Rather than be placed in jail forever, the police tell them that it is "National Free Balloon Day". As they head back home, SpongeBob and Patrick vow that they will never take anything without permission ever again.

The "golden age" of crime fiction is supposed to be the 20s and 30s, when the traditional English whodunnit was at its height, practitioners such as Christie, Marjorie Allingham, Dorothy L Sayers and Ngaio Marsh giving it style and substance.
Crime fiction has always depended on archetypes and has always dealt with the fears of its time and its readership.
Crime stories sell; crime films are some of the classiest around; and whether it's The Cops or The Sopranos, crime makes great TV too.
