Synopsis[]

Mr. Krabs is throwing Pearl a birthday party, although she is upset because the clown did not show up and got lost. A frustrated Mrs. Puff suggests that Krabs be the clown, and SpongeBob says it's a good idea. Krabs suddenly gets upset and runs back to his office. He explains through a children's book that when he was younger, he was a successful clown. One day, he tried to do a stunt involving a giant balloon dog made of smaller balloon animals, which led to an explosion that injured the attendants. He gave up on clowning after that, but is conflicted over what to do now.

SpongeBob convinces him to be a clown for Pearl. Krabs puts on his clown costume again and does various tricks at Pearl's party, which everyone loves. That night, though, Krabs is unable to sleep and tempted by his costume into being a clown full-time. He pulls various pranks over the next few days, and while the kids and adults find it funny at first, they grow tired of it. SpongeBob assembles the campers and announces he has a plan to stop Krabsy for good.

Krabs cannot find anyone the next day, until he is lured into the Clamphitheater. They say they are sick of his clowning, and SpongeBob suggests that if he wants to clown, he can blow a balloon animal: the same one that made him quit in the first place. Everyone shouts out animals and Krabs blows them all up, eventually creating the giant balloon dog again. When he makes a balloon ladybug at Pearl's request, he puts it in and thinks he has done it successfully. The rest of the campers see it shaking and run away. The balloons explode, hospitalizing Krabs. He realizes his clowning got out of hand and gives up on it for good. However, the clown he hired for Pearl finally shows up, offering to make him a balloon animal, and Krabs screams.
