Plankton enacts his latest plan from the LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants The Chum Bucket (4981-1) set. Inside his eatery, Plankton attempts to steal the Krabby Patty recipe, utilizing his computer and a spinning brainwasher. The set features minifigures of Plankton and SpongeBob, integral to the villain's schemes. Plankton employs a Krabby Patty analyzer and can deploy his Plankton's Burger Walker to secure the recipe. A robotic SpongeBob and a robot customer are also included, populating this Bikini Bottom scene and enabling interactive play with the Chum Bucket's interior mechanisms, such as the functional rotation of the brainwasher.
