Plot

During the night, something lurking in the darkness eats everything in the town, and is identified as an Alaskan Bull Worm. At the Krusty Krab, citizens share their ideas on how to defeat this beast.

Patrick suggests moving the town to another location, while Sandy decides to fight the monster, as revenge for stealing her tail. SpongeBob warns her that she will be killed, but his efforts to stop her remain fruitless, as Sandy keeps saying she can defeat the monster. Sandy continues walking along with Spongebob trying to persuade her to turn back, until they reach a cave that Sandy identifies as the worm's lair. She goes in, and defeats the worm, even reclaiming her tail. However, Spongebob tells Sandy that what she defeated was not the worm, but its tongue, and the cave itself is thw worm's mouth. Upon realizing this, Sandy screams "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!" as the worm begins chasing them.

Eventually, they escape the worm by using a paper clip with a piece of string to grapple onto a tree, trick it into running off a cliff, and think they have saved the town, and head off to tell everyone.

However, it is then shown that the people actually decided to go through with Patrick's idea to push Bikini Bottom somewhere else, and the defeated worm lands right on the city, destroying it and saying "Ow" as the episode ends.
