Ashamed by the fact that his own friend got beaten up by a girl, SpongeBob takes Plankton to the Bikini Bottom Boxing Gym to learn how to be a man. One of the instructors at the gym gives SpongeBob some steroids to give to Plankton, who becomes incredibly buff and macho as a result. With his newfound girth, Plankton begins to revel in bossing Squidward around until the steroids wear off, making his skin incredibly loose and flabby. Plankton jumps out of his bedroom window to avoid Squidward's wrath, only to have his loosened skin help him glide to safety. By the end of the episode, his body seems to have return to normal.

Meanwhile, Connie Resedes, the most popular girl in school, has hooked up and broken up with every boy in school, so she goes out with Patrick with the intent of making him popular before breaking up with him. However, when they go out, Patrick honestly falls in love with Connie, something no other boy has done with her. Connie decides to stay with Patrick, but his newfound popularity goes to his head and he starts cheating on her. Now unpopular, Connie teams up with Pearl, who Patrick had not invited to a party at their own house, and they publicly show a video of him dancing like "Buffalo Bill" from Silence of the Lambs, destorying his popularity. Patrick makes up for his behavior to Pearl by vividly describing how wonder it felt to be popular.
