P​lot
One day in Bikini Bottom, all is well and normal, however in Plankton's Chum Bucket, things are not. Plankton has just created the Duplicatotron 3000, a machine that wil create an army of robots who will serve Plankton. When Plankton starts the machine, robots pop out, however Plankton forgot to set the robot's behaviour level to 'Obey' and the robots go on a rampage, and Plankton is forced to flee the Chum Bucket.

Meanwhile, in SpongeBob's pineapple house, SpongeBob and Patrick are playing with a toy horse and robot. SpongeBob wishes that they had some real robots to play with, and Patrick tells him that they can and he brings out his 'Magic Wishing Shell'. He tells SpongeBob that if he puts the toy robot into the magic wishing shell, then shakes it and goes to sleep, then in the morning real robots will appear. Patrick does this, shakes the shell, says the magic word (Yes), and then tells SpongeBob that they both should go to bed. SpongeBob wishes Patrick a good night. In the morning SpongeBob is excited about the new robots until he discovers his house has been vandalized by the robots. SpongeBob decides to stop them.
