An Ambush!!!

An Ambush!!! is the 3rd episode of the TV series SpongeBob SquarePants: The Kung-fu Master. This is when a group of bandits named The Clam Burglers steal items from the Kung-fu Island Pharmacy. They found out that they stoled steroids so they declare the best at marital arts by eating this substance. Later during the morning SpongeBob went to that pharmacy for a free anti-suds vaccine as a precaution for disease. When he opened the door he found out that the place has been ransacked and the employees were still shocked from last night. When SpongeBob asked what happened, they told him The Clam Burglars came here and stole random items. SpongeBob found video footage on one of the security cameras and it showed the pharmacy being robbed, and it also shows the bandits running to a local supermarket. SpongeBob ran to the supermarket hoping they were still there. And they were, SpongeBob told them to leave the people alone or he will use brute force. The bandits told him they used steroids and SpongeBob gasped knowing that they cheated at marital arts. They had a titanic fight and ended up with the bandits running out of energy because of the steroids. SpongeBob said to them that cheaters never win and returned the stolen items to the rightful markets. And the bandits ended up in prison. SpongeBob went back to the training dojo in a heroic fashion and told Master Chin what happened and Master Chin congradulated SpongeBob and told him to never use steroids.
==Controversy==
When Nickelodeon saw the episode before it aired on television they said the steroids part has to be removed. Stephen Hillenburg explained that this was also an anti-drug episode and teaches kids not to use steroids. The episode went headlines on The New York Times, and wasn't until 03/7/12 when it aired. Since Nick was afraid it could have negative influence.
==Anti-Drug Message==
The episode is actually an anti-drug episode but is still part of the story. And was the first educational SpongeBob episode, (The Never Ending Summer was a short not an episode and is not part of the story for SpongeBob SquarePants).
