Plot
SpongeBob wakes up and thinks it is a normal day, but it is not! The sky changes from blue to red in just a split second and SpongeBob can hear angry Bikini Bottomites outside.

SpongeBob wonders what all the commotion is about and goes outside. Fred says that the Ukelele Bottomites have started a war to take over Bikini Bottom.

Just then, a Ukelele Bottom police car parks on SpongeBob's lawn and policeman come out. SpongeBob gets angry because the car had ruined his lawn, but Fred tells him that they don't care about his lawn. They're mission is to arrest any Bikini Bottomite they see.

Fred tells SpongeBob to run, but it's too late. The policeman arrest both of them for knowing too much about the war. The policeman gets angry at SpongeBob for back-talking him and decides not to arrest Fred because he is more angry at SpongeBob.

SpongeBob is thrown into a jail cell. He discovers Mr. Krabs, who says that he hasn't done anything wrong and they are arresting everyone really for no reason. Mr. Krabs shows that Squidward, Patrick, Sandy and even Mrs. Puff are in the same cell with him.

Mr. Krabs has a plan. He dreams that SpongeBob slips through the cell door and goes to the warden's office. He grabs the key and comes back to free his friends. He then snaps back to reality.

The screen cuts to Plankton and Karen in the Ukelele Bottom's presidents office. Plankton says that all of this going the way he wanted it to. The camera zooms out of Plankton's office while Plankton is laughing.
