Biography[]
El Diablo first appears in a carriage that is going to the Inferno Saloon where SpongeBob and Patrick have come to face the challenge that while they wait for him they dance, and he exits the carriage with a parasol and as soon as he enters the music stops.
He scolds his men for playing while he wasn't there, but they tell him that today is a special day and so he forgives them, then he tells them to take SpongeBob and Patrick (caged as prisoners to their great surprise) in his. room.
In his room he mocks him that they have come to free his men from him. SpongeBob tries to play along by saying it's all just a dream after all, but El Diablo mocks them again by saying they lied to him about this and then the two start running with El Diablo trying to kill them.
SpongeBob remembers the coin Sage gave him saying it was special and points it at El Diablo, but nothing happens and then they go against the window curtains with El Diablo telling him to stay away, and so the two friends begin to touch the curtains by moving them and letting in the sunlight, without realizing however that by doing so El Diablo is dying incinerated.
When they realize it is too late and he is already dead, SpongeBob and Patrick nervously leave the saloon with the zombies that now without El Diablo are free and fly away in peace.
Happy and carefree, SpongeBob and Patrick are returning from Otto to the car, when El Diablo reappears in the form of a dust tornado. Terrified SpongeBob and Patrick flee in the car with Otto driving and El Diablo on their heels. El Diablo chases his two killers, until he stumbles and dissolves into dust.
