However, our hero has been duped; the Flying Dutchman can only rid himself of the curse which traps him in the state of a ghost by transferring it to someone else – and SpongeBob is the fall guy. Can our hero’s friends Patrick (voice: Bill Fagerbakke), accompanying him on his quest, and Mr. Krabs and Squidward (voice: Roger Bumpass), who set out in hot pursuit, save him?… Read the rest
