History Recap / SpongebobSquarepantsS7E17TheGreatPattyCaper

* CassandraTruth: [=SpongeBob=] initially refuses to believe Plankton when he claims he didn't take the key to the secret formula's vault, but a quick search from Patrick proves (temprarily) innocent.

[=SpongeBob=] goes into the freezer to find that the Krusty Krab has run out of Krabby Patties. He and Mr. Krabs try to make more, but they can't remember the recipe. Plankton then makes another attempt to steal the secret formula, prompting Mr. Krabs to send the formula to a safety deposit box on the other side of the ocean. When the formula is sent away, Krabs and [=SpongeBob=] realize they forgot to look at the Krabby Patty recipe! Krabs gives [=SpongeBob=] the key to the vault in which the recipe is hidden, and he and Patrick board a train to the bank for the safety deposit box. Sometime during the ride, the key to the box disappears and [=SquarePants=] and Patrick Star must find the thief. Plankton boards the train in another attempt to steal the formula. Patrick searches him, but finds him clean. The duo stops the train to find the suspect responsible for stealing the key. A nanny and her baby were searched, only to find a jewel that was stolen by triplets. The next suspect, the train conductor (who [=SpongeBob=] thinks is a butler), was revealed to be a thief named Oran J. Roughy who stole $75,000 worth of ham sandwiches. Spongebob cries hopelessly but soon finds Patrick had the key; he took it while he cleaned [=SpongeBob=]'s shorts in an off-screen incident. They go back into the train and go on their way to the bank. Eventually, Plankton bats them out of a window and takes the key. The best friends must chase the train. [=SpongeBob=] morphs himself into a hang glider and he and Patrick fly back onto the train to pursue Plankton. Once they return, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick chase him. But, Plankton disconnects the cars of the train, leaving [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick in the front car. [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick try to stop the train but Patrick stupidly breaks the brake (of the train) causing the train to go out of control. He makes several weird, futile attempts to stop the train, one of which is to put a object on the tracks. This only caused the train to flip and move forward while some of the wheels were off the track. The two manage to bring all wheels back in place when they stopped in front of a retirement home. Then, Patrick stupidly breaks the throttle, which he thought said "BRAKE". Meanwhile,
Plankton arrives at the bank to steal the formula but he's caught by Krabs (who expected [=SpongeBob=] to fail). Plankton tries to escape with the formula, but the train crashes into the bank and stops Plankton before he could leave. Plankton fails again, and Krabs has to pay back the damage to the bank with his bank account. 75 years later, an elderly [=SpongeBob=] finishes telling the story of the "Great Train Caper" to his grandson. However, his grandson only cares about playing his video game.

[=SpongeBob=] goes into the freezer to find that the Krusty Krab has run out of Krabby Patties. He and Mr. Krabs try to make more, but cannot decide on the recipe. Krabs gives [=SpongeBob=] the key to the vault in which the recipe is hidden, and he and Patrick board a train to the bank for the safety deposit box. Sometime during the ride, the key to the box is stolen and [=SquarePants=] and Patrick Star must find the thief. Just then, Plankton walks up and Patrick searches him, but finds him clean. The duo stops the train to find the suspect responsible for stealing the key. A nanny and her baby were searched, only to find a stolen jewel that was stolen by triplets. The next suspect, the butler, was revealed to be a thief named Orin J. Ruffy who stole $75,000 worth of ham sandwiches. Spongebob cried hopelessly but soon found Patrick having the key; in fact, he found it while he cleaned [=SpongeBob=]'s shorts. They went back into the train and were on their way to the bank. Eventually, Plankton bats them out of a window and the best friends must chase the train. It is revealed that Plankton has the key. [=SpongeBob=] morphs himself into a hang glider and he and Patrick fly back onto the train to pursue him. Once they return, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick chase Plankton.

However, he still escapes with it, but the train came into the bank and stopped Plankton before he could leave. Plankton's plan failed again, and Krabs had to pay the damage to the bank with his bank account. 75 years later, [=SpongeBob=], shown as an elderly, finishes the story of the "Great Train Caper". His grandson responds with a cheer in excitement over his video game.
