[[File:Mm and bb 6.jpg|thumb|250px|left]]SpongeBob and Patrick are at a Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy fan club meeting, where they learn that a new movie will be made based on the heroes, and meet the actors who will be portraying them. SpongeBob is offended that the movie is using actors instead of the real Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, and tells the fan club that they must boycott the movie. Then he and Patrick are thrown out of the building.The two then go to Shady Shoals and tell Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy that Drippy Brothers Studios is making a movie about them and using actors. The heroes find the news horrible, and Patrick suggests they make their own movie, which they agree with. After brainstorming ideas at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob and the crew meet to make the movie. SpongeBob is the director and in charge of the movie, Squidward, the makeup artist, prepares the actors for the movie, Sandy is in charge of using the dynamite for explosion scenes, Patrick is the cameraman, Mr. Krabs caters the crew with Krabby Patties, Pearl is the leading lady and the invisible boat mobile, and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, of course, are the stars of the movie. While they are filming, Plankton appears auditions for Man Ray, but SpongeBob tells him that Man Ray isn't in their movie. Plankton is given the job of working the microphone instead. Mermaid Man has trouble with one of his lines and it takes 5,003 takes to get it right. A scene is filmed where Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy ride Pearl up a steep mountain to Kelp-Thing's hideout. Pearl is too heavy to pull, and slides down the mountain, crashing into the sets. Everything is destroyed, and Patrick reveals that he had been filming with the lens cap on, meaning that they have no footage. SpongeBob goes berserk with frustration, but Mermaid Man convinces him to finish the movie. Mr. Krabs holds the premiere of SpongeBob's production in his restaurant, hoping to make lots of money from the movie. The members of the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy Fan Club attend, but only because the Drippy Bros. production is sold out. The movie is then shown. SpongeBob plays with a car near a box with "Lox" on it. Then the patty vault is opened and Kelp-Thing comes down, but then Mermaid Man (as Sandy) attacks him. He and Barnacle Boy unite. Then it ends. The movie proves to be terrible, and the fans are not pleased. However, Mermaid Man is glad that SpongeBob proved he and Barnacle Boy still have some "action" left in their old bones. They then laugh all happily due to their efforts even though their movie received negative reception from the fans.
