[edit] Plot

SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star go to the Oyster Stadium to see Clamu the Clam perform tricks. Apparently, Clamu is sleeping and SpongeBob and Patrick want to see a show. When Patrick leaves, SpongeBob tries to wake Clamu up by throwing a peanut. Clamu wakes up and goes on a rampage as she attacks people and cries. Apparently, the cry is so loud that it can be heard all over the world (even above the surface). Everyone is angry and annoyed and they all want to find who did the crime. Patrick starts to do some investigating to find out who did it. SpongeBob feels the grief and guilt and decides to turn himself in. A trainer of Clamu sees that Eugene H. Krabs stole Clamu's pearl which happens to be an egg (that's really why she was crying when SpongeBob threw the peanut), which means Clamu is now a mother. Mr. Krab's excuse for the crime is that it's free day at the Bikini Bottom Zoo, getting peanuts thrown at him, to see how he likes it.

[edit] Quotes

Fish on P.A.: Attention zoo patrots. Clamu, the giant oyster is on an emotional rampage! Please scream and run around in circles.

Citizens: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Fish on P.A.: Thanks for coming!

SpongeBob: There it is. Oyster Stadium. Not only do they have the largest oyster held in captivity, it also does tricks. He spits a giant pearl 100 feet in the air!! Like a cannonball!! [Takes his hat, rolls it into a shape of a ball, puts it in his mouth, and spits it out. Letting it soar into the air. But then it lands into a kid's ice cream.]

Patrick: (excited) WHY ARE WE HANGING AROUND WATCHING A CHEAP IMITATION?! LET'S GET OVER THERE!!!

SpongeBob and Patrick: THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!!!

[edit] Trivia/Goofs

Right before that on YTV airings of this episode, Mr. Krabs says "But it's Free Day!" but captions say "But it's pretty!".
When Patrick goes to SpongeBob and says "Hey, SpongeBob.", his eyelids appear pink instead of the usual purple.
A tune from Danger Mouse is used.
The title takes its name from the phrase "caught with the smoking gun."
When the zookeeper pulls Mr. Krabs pants off, the belt buckle colors are reversed to yellow on the inside and black on the outside, although in the next scene it reversed back to normal.
Clamu is a reference to the popular Shamu in Seaworld.
