In this episode, Squidward gets a call from his old classmate Squilliam Fancyson, whom is both rich and successful. Squilliam asks him if he would like to come and take his bands place in the upcoming Bubble Bowl. Squidward wants to prove to his old classmate that he too is successful as a musician, so he takes Squilliam's offer and quickly posts fliers to join his band. Band rejects from all over the Bikini Bottom come to be a part of Squidward's band. Each and every member has no musical experience what so ever.
Over the course of several days and nights, Squidward teaches his new band members how to play their instruments. However on the last night of practice, it is as if they hadn't learned a single thing. Squidward gives up and basically tells them that they have ruined his dream, then leaves. Spongebob speaks out in front of the band and tells them to think of everything Squidward has done for them. They cant think of anything, but decide to practice through the night. The day of the Bubble Bowl, Squidward is prepared to cancel the bands performance. However, Squilliam is standing, waiting to see what Squidward has come up with. Squidward worries his band will make a fool out of him as the Bubble Bowl rises up into the human filled stadium. To his surprise, as he starts conducting the band plays as if they were professionals. Squilliam's heart stops and is rushed to the hospital, due to this heart stopping performance.
