Synopsis[]

The teenagers of Angel Grove host a makeshift world teen summit at Angel Grove High School in preperation for the upcoming Swiss Peace Conference. However, Lord Zedd sends Goldar and the Putty Patrol to kidnap their international guests so they can be converted into Dark Rangers. When that scheme inevitably goes belly-up, Zedd creates the immensely powerful Four Head monster capable of even defeating the Mega Tigerzord. Can the Power Rangers conquer this colossal calamity?!

Plot[]

At the Youth Center, Tommy and Kimberly discuss the 1st Annual World Teen Summit which is about to begin and wonder who will represent Angel Grove at the next summit. They are joined by Rocky, Adam and Aisha before Ernie begins the summit and Billy introduces the representatives from South Africa, China, Russia, Israel, Australia and Mexico. He also shows off a four-headed statue made by the Angel Grove art class, representing strength, wisdom, courage and vitality and mentions that the representatives will be interviewing candidates to act as representatives in Switzerland. Tamara, the attendee from Israel, thanks Angel Grove for having them there. Bulk and Skull are initially unimpressed until Bulk hits upon the thought that the six representatives might actually be the Power Rangers.

Lord Zedd is also monitoring things and hits upon the idea of using the six intelligent teens to make a group of Dark Rangers: In order to so, however, they will need the Rangers’ Power Coins, a task he entrusts to Goldar. In the park, Tommy, Adam, Rocky, and five of the summit attendees are comparing martial art styles, while Billy and Tamara are enjoying a picnic nearby. Billy asks Tamara if every girl in Isreal is as beautiful as her. Then, a group of Putties appear and Billy sends Tamara back to the Youth Center. While Tommy, Billy, Kimberly, Rocky, Adam, and Aisha all battle the Putties, Goldar, Squatt, and Baboo surround the other five representatives with more Putties and march them away. Bulk and Skull, still believing the teens might be Power Rangers, follow them to a cave. Bulk knows a back entrance to the cave and takes Skull to sneak inside to see what's happening. Goldar imprisons the attendees in a force field inside the cave and decrees that they now belong to Lord Zedd and that escape is futile.

While Rocky, Adam, and Aisha head back to the Youth Center to look for the representatives, Tommy, Billy, and Kimberly find a note from Goldar demanding the Power Coins for the representatives. They head to the Command Center where Zordon and Alpha confirm that the representatives have been captured and rescuing them must be the priority. Tommy has a plan but it needs all six Power Coins so Zordon contacts Jason, Zack and Trini.

All the Rangers morph and meet Goldar outside the cave, where Tommy hands over a box containing the Power Coins. Goldar taunts them that he has no intention to release the representatives but Billy reveals that the box doesn’t contain the real Power Coins either. Apparently the Rangers anticipated Goldar's trick from when he ransomed their parents. The Rangers fight off Goldar and a group of Putties and free the teen ambassadors. The ambassadors are amazed to see the Power Rangers, and Tommy is surprised to learn that even people from other countries have heard of them. After they have all gone, Bulk and Skull fall to the ground from their failed attempt to get into the cave. They find the discarded box of fake Power Coins, which turn out to be chocolate. Although Bulk is at first mad, he and Skull find the chocolate to be a very good consolation prize.

Zedd uses the four-headed statue to create a new monster, Four Head. The Rangers leave the teen representatives with Rocky, Adam and Aisha and confront Four Head, shooting her with the Power Blaster. Zedd grows Four Head to giant size so the Rangers summon the Thunderzords, but the Mega Tigerzord and Red Dragon Thunderzord are soon knocked down. Zordon and Alpha send Tor the Carrier Zord, who can use its shielding power to protect the other Zords while using its firepower to help win the fight. Alpha presses several buttons on the Command Center console which causes Tor to appear. Four Head knocks the new Zord onto its back but the Red Dragon Thunderzord rights it. Tor then transforms into Warrior Mode and fires a volley of blasts at Four Head. He opens his shell and allows the Red Dragon Thunderzord inside, protecting it from Four Head's next attack and allowing the Zord to recharge. All of the Zords then combine to form the Thunder Ultrazord which flies into the air and lands on top of Four Head, destroying her.

Later, Tommy, Kimberly, Rocky, Adam, and Aisha are all in the audience at the Youth Center. Rocky, Aisha, and Adam congratulate Tommy and Kimberly on a job well done. The summit attendees give their final remarks stating that people are similar no matter where they're from, and that no problem is too big to handle if everyone works together, including bringing peace to the world. Billy gets the last word at the summit, talking about how they’ve learned that by working together they can make the world a better place, and the crowd responds with a round of applause.

Errors[]

  • In the preview, it's said that the conference takes place at Angel Grove High when it's actually being held in the Youth Center.
  • Due to the Dairanger footage of the unintroduced Power Cannon, the Power Blaster’s blast consisted of green, blue, pink, and yellow energy spheres spinning around a central red one.
  • After the Four Head is grown to giant size, there is debris visible on the ground when the Rangers summon their Zords, even though the monster was not shown destroying any buildings.
  • The five Rangers call for the Thunder Megazord, but the Red Dragon Thunderzord and Mega Tigerzord are used instead.

Notes[]

  • The footage of Jason answering his communicator was deleted footage from "The Wanna-Be Ranger".
  • The only member of the International Peace Committee to speak in their native language is the committee chairperson, Tamara from Israel, who "Shalom" the Hebrew word for hello and goodbye.
  • Three shots of the Thunder Ultrazord sequence are cut from the original Dairanger footage: the formation, Tor landing on Four Head, and a closeup of Four Head's hand poking out from beneath Tor's undercarriage. The former was cut because of Japanese writing appearing on the screen, the latter two appeared too violent.
