When Squidward sees a "leaf" on his lawn, he thinks it ruins the perfection of his lawn, so he pretends to accidentally kick it onto SpongeBob's lawn. SpongeBob thinks the same thing, and he gets out his reef-blower (an underwater version of a [[leaf blower]]). He blows the shell (with a large column of sand) onto Squidward, and then sucks it all into the reef-blower. The reef-blower malfunctions because it can't hold that much sand, and refuses to start. SpongeBob pulls the cord extremely far away, and it finally starts, but sucks all water. The reef-blower explodes leaving piles of sand all over Squidward's lawn, but SpongeBob's lawn perfectly clean.
Squidward walks outside and sees a shell on his lawn. To get rid of it, he kicks it into SpongeBob's yard. SpongeBob takes out his reef blower, blowing the shell and an enormous amount of sand onto Squidward. When he sees the sand on his yard after getting it off Squidward, he sucks it into the reef blower, although the machine malfunctions. SpongeBob fixes the reef blower and then pulls the ripcord, causing it to suck up the entire ocean. It explodes, leaving piles of sand everywhere except in SpongeBob's yard. Squidward, disappointed, watches as the shell lands on his nose.
