[edit] Plot

Mr. Krabs holds a yard sale with items found in the trash. SpongeBob buys a soda drinking hat. Later, Krabs meets some collectors. One suggests he could pay $500 for the hat. Another says that he/she could pay $1,000. A business man, who is one of the collectors, wants to give Mr. Krabs $100,000. The final collector tries to tell him that the hat is worth $1,000,000! Mr. Krabs, as we all know, is obsessed with money. He goes to SpongeBob and says he looks like a girl if he's wearing the hat. It doesn't work, so he offers to give SpongeBob all the hats in the paper bag that he's carrying in exchange for SpongeBob's hat. SpongeBob says that he won't give the hat to Mr. Krabs, so at night, Mr. Krabs draws a ghost on a piece of paper and hooks it on a fishing rod. SpongeBob thinks it's really a ghost. Mr. Krabs tells him that the hat once belonged to Smitty Werben Jeger Man Jensen, a dead guy buried in a nearby cemetery, and that the hat is cursed. SpongeBob buries the hat where Smitty's grave is. Mr. Krabs is shocked that there really is a Smitty Werben Jeger Man Jensen, but, anyway, goes to the cemetery. He defiles the grave and gets the hat. What he doesn't know is that there really is a curse, and Smitty commands the other zombies to get the hat back. Mr. Krabs grabs the head of an undead swordfish, and uses that as his sword. He eventually defeats the zombies. He then goes to the collectors and tells them that he got the hat back. The collectors tell him that they found a warehouse full of that kind of hat and that the hat's worthless. The collectors see SpongeBob wearing a clapping hat and they chase him to tell him it's expensive and they want to buy it. Mr. Krabs cries and Squidward, who is bringing flowers to 'Squidward's Hopes And Dreams' in the graveyard, says "What a baby."
