Mr. Krabs, a red crab in a blue shirt and purple pants, stands on a wooden floor with a green balloon above him, while SpongeBob SquarePants, a yellow sponge in a white shirt and brown pants, stands beside him looking sad; Mr. Krabs repeatedly raises his right claw and then brings it down in a slapping motion toward SpongeBob, who remains still with a dejected expression, before the scene cuts to a crowd of fish characters with wide eyes, where a black face is superimposed over one of the fish in the foreground.
