Squidward eagerly preparing to leave work at the Krusty Krab as it closes. Moments before he can leave, a customer shows up asking to be served. When Squidward refuses to take the customer's order, the customer berates Squidward for not wanting his money. Mr. Krabs overhears this and asks the customer if he would give them money if they stayed open later, and the customer agrees. Mr. Krabs is inspired to create a night shift, leaving an eager SpongeBob and an annoyed Squidward to work 24-hour shifts.Exasperated with his boss' demands and annoyed by SpongeBob's eagerness, Squidward tries to scare SpongeBob into being afraid of the night shift by telling him a made-up story about the "Hash-Slinging Slasher", a former fry cook at the Krusty Krab who accidentally cut off his own arm (replacing it with a spatula) and was killed after being run over by a bus. Squidward continues by telling SpongeBob that every Tuesday night (the night it happens to be) the ghost of the Slasher returns to the Krusty Krab to get revenge. Squidward says that the Slasher's arrival will be indicated by three warnings: the lights flickering on and off, the phone ringing but nobody being on the other line, and the ghost of the bus that ran over the Slasher arriving then exits the bus, crosses the street without looking both ways (due to already being dead), taps on the window with his spatula hand, and approaches the counter and "gets" his victims. Spongebob begins screaming in horror; although amused at first, Squidward becomes annoyed and tells him that he made the whole story up. However, later that night the two are soon alarmed by strange occurrences that parallel the omens that signify the arrival of the Hash-Slinging Slasher. Finally, a bus shows up outside the Krusty Krab, despite Squidward claiming that the buses do not run this late at night. The bus then drops off a mysterious dark silhouette matching the description of the Hash-Slinging Slasher...โฆ
