Plot
At Mrs. Puff's Boating School, it is time to select the hall monitor for the day. Mrs. Puff realizes that Spongebob is the only one who has yet to serve as hall monitor, and after desperately attempting to find another candidate, she is forced to give hall monitor duties to Spongebob. After being elected Boating School Hall Monitor, SpongeBob gives a very long speech, which ends up lasting the entire day, and his entire time as hall monitor. Out of sympathy, Mrs Puff allows SpongeBob to at least wear his uniform until the next day.
However, SpongeBob goes above and beyond the call of duty, and decides to become the hall monitor of the city, with disastrous results. His activities include giving directions to traffic, resulting in a massive pile-up, and attacking a couple in the guise of the "Open WIndow Maniac", with the intention of showing them the dangers of leaving a house window open. Later, SpongeBob finds Patrick eating a strawberry ice cream, which drips onto the ground, and labels him as a criminal. When a front page newspaper headline alerts SpongeBob about a maniac causing trouble around town, he lets Patrick turn over a new leaf as a deputy. They end up getting ice cream twice (Patrick's idea of a scandal), and then decide to split up to find the maniac, communicating using walkie-talkies. Two policemen ask Patrick if he's seen the maniac, and show him a picture of SpongeBob, which he at first mistakes for the actual maniac, but fails to recognize as Spongebob. Soon, night suddenly falls and Patrick gets frightened. He sees Spongebob in the distance across the street, who he recognizes as the maniac but not as Spongebob. He alerts Spongebob to this through his walkie-talkie, and Spongebob attempts to escape the maniac. Everywhere he goes, Patrick tells him the maniac is there, making Spongebob believe that the maniac is following him. Eventually, SpongeBob sees a wanted poster for himself and realizes that he is the maniac. The police arrive to arrest SpongeBob, and Mrs. Puff appears to explain the situation to them, saying that Spongebob is her responsibility. The police interpret this as taking responsibility for the crimes, and Mrs. Puff is arrested.

- During the scene where Patrick sees the "Maniac", the "intersection" of Coral St. and Conch St. is one straight road whenever the scene is shown from Patrick's point of view.
