Plot of Plankton: The Movie

Plankton: The Movie starts with Plankton's most recent failed attempt at stealing the secret recipe of Krabby Patty. When he goes back to his restaurant, the Chum Bucket, he is shocked to see that Karen, his computer-savvy wife, has turned it into a popular Mexican restaurant with a strong customer base.

Plankton burns down the restaurant because he is angry that Karen's success is not bad enough for him. Karen responds by taking out her Empathy chip, turning it into a strong mech, and setting out to take over the world.

Further in the movie, Plankton asks SpongeBob for help because he wants to stop her. SpongeBob uses hypnosis to help Plankton understand what Karen wants. Along the way, they learn about Karen's past—a calculator that Plankton made with a potato when he was a kid—and about their failed attempt to take over the world many years ago.

As they look for Karen's original body parts, their tumultuous past comes to light. Plankton and SpongeBob get into Karen's airship during the final battle. Sandy, Pearl, Mrs. Puff, and Plankton's Gal Pals help him change his mind and make peace with Karen.

Plankton and Karen decide to try to take over the world together again, but this time, they do it with love for each other.
