SpongeBob and Patrick attend a jousting tournament at the Medieval Moments restaurant, where they volunteer to participate in the tournament. They are put on seahorses and given lances. The seahorses charge without warning, and SpongeBob and Patrick are thrown out of the building into an 11th century Bikini Bottom. A group of knights surrounds and imprison them with Squidward's ancestor, Squidly the jester. Eventually, Mr. Krabs' ancestor, King Krabs, orders SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidly to the throne room, where they are to be executed for insulting him with a song. However, Princess Pearl reminds King Krabs of the prophecy that two brave knights will be sent by the king to defeat the evil wizard Planktonamor, who terrorizes the kingdom with his dragon jellyfish. Moments later, Planktonamor's dragon kidnaps Princess Pearl, and King Krabs begs SpongeBob and Patrick to rescue her, who gladly accept along with Squidly. Soon after, the trio approaches Planktonamor's tower, where an ancestor of Sandy Cheeks known as the Dark Knight blocks them. After a karate duel against SpongeBob, the Dark Knight decides to help the group on their quest. At the top of the tower, the group encounters the dragon, who becomes an ally to them after SpongeBob gives it a Krabby Patty. The dragon destroys Planktonamor, and the group returns to the kingdom to celebrate. Once there, the seahorses become aggressive, tossing SpongeBob and Patrick once again. After waking up, the pair find themselves in present day Bikini Bottom at the joust, with SpongeBob believing it was all a dream. However, Patrick notices that he has landed on Squidly, revealing that they did indeed travel through time.

In his review for the DVD Talk, Paul Mavis positively reacted to the episode. He said, "'Dunces & Dragons' puts a new spin on the old A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court theme and it's fun to see how the show's writers have adapted the characters from the show into this medieval setting." Nancy Basile of About. com compared the episode to the then television film of the series called SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis. She said "Atlantis SquarePantis seemed epic in scope, much like 'Dunces and Dragons'." Speaking less positively of the special, technical director (now showrunner) Vincent Waller, in response to a question on Twitter asking what his least favorite episode of SpongeBob was, stated in 2017, "I'm not fond of the one where [the characters] go back to the time of Knights of old." He later added, "[I] didn't think it was bad, but felt it would have been better as an 11 minute, rather than 22."
