"Arrgh!" is an episode from the first broadcast season of the SpongeBob SquarePants television program.

Plot summary

After Mr. Krabs plays "The Flying Dutchman's Treasure Hunt" board game (based on an actual treasure hunt), he decides to pursue the real treasure hunt.

Template:Spoiler At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob shouts "Eight dubloons! I'm rich!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Krabs jumps over to SpongeBob, saying "I saw it first!" He then realises that SpongeBob (and Patrick) are playing a board game, and that SpongeBob does not have any physical dubloons. Patrick tells him the name of the game (The flying dutchman's treasure hunt), and that it's based on a real treasure hunt. Mr. Krabs wins 17 times in a row, and SpongeBob wants to go home and sleep. However, Mr. Krabs seems to be addicted to the game, and keeps on persuading him to play more. SpongeBob goes to sleep, and the next morning he sees Mr. Krabs in a pirate ship. Mr. Krabs tells him that he's on a treasure hunt, and SpongeBob and Patrick decide to join him. They learn how to be a pirate, and crash the boat in doing so. They follow the instructions, until they get to the two-leaved seaweed (It actually has three, but Mr. Krabs acts as if it only had two). Mr. Krabs also tells them that they're not allowed to look at the map. The map tells them to go 10,000 paces east, and Mr. Krabs asks Patrick which way is east. He looks at a compass, and points in some direction. After 10,000 paces, there is nothing, and Mr. Krabs says "But we did everything the map said! 10,000 paces east!" Patrick immediately replies "East? I thought you said weast!" Mr. Krabs says "Weast? What kind of compass are you reading?" "This one" Mr. Krabs grabs Patrick's compass and says "That's west, Patrick". After going around 5,100 paces east, they set up a camp. Patrick and SpongeBob look at the map. They realise that it's their board game taped to a piece of old paper. Mr. Krabs catches them, and they beg for mercy outside. However, they find the 'X', and start digging. They find the treasure, but Mr. Krabs wants it all for himself and they argue. The flying dutchman is woken up, and congratulates SpongeBob and Patrick. He keeps the treasure, but gives them two gold dubloons. Mr. Krabs asks for a reward and he receives a tiny plastic treasure chest.
