Plot
The Krusty Krew is taking their annual check-up, but Mr. Krabs is scared to take it as he thinks he'll be hurt. After SpongeBob and Squidward take theirs and it's Mr. Krabs' turn, he hides in his room. SpongeBob comes up with a plan to take his check-up during the weekend and pick up the results on Monday.

The first test is the pinch test, so they hide in a box that says "Free money inside" to lure him in. They test him with several objects, as well as his own claws, but they break as a result. Later, he sees that a store is selling free suits, so he goes inside. SpongeBob, disguised as a tailor with Squidward underneath, tries to take his eye stalk test, but eventually gets annoyed and leaves.

They then try to get an X-ray of him by making him go in a photo booth, but he thought Mr. Krabs had to take 25,000 X-rays, causing his body to shatter. Afterwards, SpongeBob lures him into a massage place and after getting tricked, gets thrown into the freezer as part of the cold-blooded test, until he finds out what that actually means. Finally, they test his shell durability, and smash the ice cube Mr. Krabs came out of the freezer in, shattering it and leaving him naked.

To fix this, SpongeBob tries to get him to exercise, but this just leaves him in worse shape then before. Mr. Krabs devises a plan to disguise Larry as him as they are both crustaceans and trick the nurse into thinking he's in shape. The plan works in the long run and he passes the test, allowing the Krusty Krab to stay open.
