Hi, boys and girls.

I'm Captain Pete,
and this is my sidekick...

Puppetman!

- Hi, Puppetman!
- Hi, Puppetman!

Hey-ya, hi-ya,
h*-there, kids.

Welcome to our show.

( chuckling )

Hey, Captain Pete,
you know what

today's secret word is?

Is it "Pastrami"?

No.

Is it "Artichoke"?

PUPPETMAN: No!

Is it "Power Rangers"?

( bell rings )

Yes!
You said today's secret word!

( chuckling )

Oh, great!

( laughing )

Hey, Ernie.

It's really cool you're
doing this for the kids.

They really are
having a great time.

I'm happy to do it.

You got to give something
back to the community.

CAPTAIN PETE:
There's Ernie!

Hey, how about a big round
of applause for the man

who made this all
possible today?

ERNIE: Thanks a lot.
Enjoy the show.

Hey, kids, I was
just wondering:

who's your favorite superhero?

- The Power Rangers!
- The Power Rangers!

( bell rings )

Now you said the secret word!

Whoo-hoo!

MONDO:
Contemptible urchins.

If there's anything
that grinds my gears

it is the irksome laughter
of human children!

Yes.
It simply makes my oil boil.

They say children shape
the future of the Earth.

If we get those children
on our side

we could rule supreme.

But look at them, my lovebot.

Those little guttersnipes

are so well-behaved,
it's sickening.

Not for long, my dearest.

That puppet has given me
a smashing idea.

I'm sure it's brilliant,
darling.

Thank you, my Queen.

Your compliments
mean the world to me.

I'll tell you my plan.

It's time I pulled
the strings on Earth.

( evil laughter )

Okay, Tanya.

Try to follow my footwork.

( panting )

Footwork is essential
to Martial Arts.

Okay.

Watch this.

Yeah.

Okay. Ready?

Yeah.

Go.

( laughing )

Come on.

All right, upper-cut.

All right.

Use your hip more.

That's it.

( exhaling )

Perfect.

You got the move, Tanya.
- Thanks.

You've been
unbelievably patient.

I mean, you're a pro,
and I'm just, like...

learning.
Believe it or not

teaching you the routine
helps me prep for my match.

That's really sweet, Adam

But I don't believe a word of it.

Really, I'm not kidding.

Wait till you see
my next trick! Ha-ha!

Gentlemen, I'd consider it
a personal favor

if you'd keep an eye
on little Arnie today

while I'm on patrol.

It's our pleasure, sir.

We love kids.

- ( whispering ): Since when?
- ( whispering ): Since now.

what a cute little
dickens he is too.

Now, Arnie, you be
a good boy while I'm gone?

Stay out of trouble, understand?

Yes, Uncle Jerome.

So... are you excited
to see Captain Pete

and Puppetman, Arnie?

This stinks. I'm out of here.

We just love kids,
don't we, Bulky?

Let me go! I'm telling my uncle
you were mean to me.

And what a cute little
dickens he is too.

Put me down!

I have designed a transmitter

that can be utilized
to control the Puppetman.

Daddy, let me do it!

Maybe next time, son.

Klank, send the Cogs

to plant the transmitter
on the Puppetman.

but the Power Rangers
are in the vicinity.

The report says so.

What are you going to do?

Do not fear, son.

No one will ever stop us.

Once the children
are under my control

the Power Rangers
will find themselves

under my thumb as well.

( evil laughter )

Think Captain Pete can handle
one more, kids?

Ooh! Let's see.

How does he do it?

Hooray!

Man, the show's going so good.

Thank you, thank you.

I do all my own stunts.

TOMMY: Oh, no.

Cogs--
what are they doing here?

Hey, boys and girls.

Looks like we have some
special guests here today.

Let's do something.

Let's let them
make the first move.

We can't just sit here.

The kids could get hurt.

These silver clowns are a riot!

What will they do next?

What do they want?

I don't know,
but they're not attacking.

( yelling )

( groaning )

You will soon bow down

to the Machine Empire,
Power Rangers.

( bell rings )

You said the secret word!
Whoo-hoo!

They've planted the device.

Bring the Cogs back
and start our transmission.

Your wish is my command, sire.

Wasn't that fun, kids?

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

I don't get it.

There must have been a reason
why they came here.

Let's contact Zordon.

( laughing )

( beeping )

( evil laughter )

Now for a special finale.

What is wrong with these kids?

Charge!

CAPTAIN PETE:
Hold on a minute!

Stop this!

What's going on?

( yelling )

I love audience participation.

( screaming )

Man, they're going nuts.

Zordon, this is Tommy.

Do you read me?

Yes, tommy.

Ay-yi-yi.
Is there a problem?

Something's happened--

the kids are out of control.

I'll check the computer.

It is possible
that they've been placed

under some kind
of hypnotic spell.

( beeping )

Yeah, it's being traced

back to a large
robot of some kind.

( yelling )

( evil laughter )

Look, guys, it's coming
from Puppetman.

We're on it, Billy.

Contact the others
and tell them to meet us here.

( beeping )

We read you.

Adam, something's wrong

at the Youth Center.

The other guys need you.

We're on our way.

Ah-- ha-ha-ha.

( kids yelling )

Ha-ha.

( all clamoring )

Knock it off.

What's wrong with you kids?

Help!

Power Rangers!

( bell rings )

KID:
He said the secret word!

What's going on?

ROCKY: I've never seen
anything like it.

It's time to pull

the curtain down on this clown.
It's Morphin Time!

Zeo Ranger One. Pink!

Zeo Ranger Two. Yellow!

Zeo Ranger Three. Blue!

Zeo Ranger Four. Green!

Zeo Ranger Five. Red!

All right, Puppetmaster

whatever you think you're doing
to these kids ends now.

Understand?

( laughing ): Now I'll show you
some real tricks.

I don't think so.

We didn't come for a show.

We're here to take you down.

Yeah.

You can try, but first

you'll have to get
through my army.

( evil laughter )

Oh, no,
he's controlling the kids.

He's using them

as a human shield.

Hold on. We can't risk
hurting the children.

She's right.

But somehow we have to
break Puppetman's spell.

when he's controlling these kids

we're powerless to stop him.

It's show time!

We've got to stop these kids

without hurting them.

But how?

With these mindless brats
as my army

I'll take control of Angel Grove

and then the world!

( laughing )

Ay-yi-yi!
The Rangers can't strike back

against those children.

Puppetman is somehow
controlling their minds.

Billy, try to find

Puppetman's energy source.

He must be shut down.

Right away, Zordon.

There's no way
we'll fight the children.

Then let's make things
interesting, shall we?

What will you do when
the children attack you, hmm?

Careful, guys.

Come on. Come on, guys.

You don't know
what you're doing.

We'd better think
of something fast.

You won't come up

with any clever solution
this time, Power Rangers.

Go get 'em, kids!

Now, these are my kind of kids.

I think our star is ready
for a much bigger audience.

Go on, kids!

Do your stuff!

My King, let's send him
to the satellite center.

He can broadcast his beam
to the kids of Angel Grove.

Absolute perfection, my dear.

He can recruit all the children
on the way as well.

See you later, Power Rangers.

Time for me
to take this show on the road.

Where's he going?

I don't know.

We'd better get
to the Power Chamber

See what's going on.

( gasps )

( laughing )

( laughs )

( both grunting )

Peekaboo, kids!

( laughs )

Hold it!

Kids, come on.

What are you doing?

Stop it now.
You're making a mess.

DAD:
Stop with the food.

Stop! Give me that.

Yeah, stop.

( laughs )

Fun for the whole family.

Bon appetit.

Hello, girlies!
( laughing )

Rangers, we've
detected Puppetman

en route to Angel Grove's
Main Satellite Broadcast Center.

Of course.
King Mondo will probably try

to infuse Puppetman with a more
powerful energy source.

But if he does that

he will be able to reach

all the children at Angel Grove.

And not to mention
the whole world.

Bottom line, we've got
to stop his transmission.

Alpha and I have been
working on a new device

that might be able
to break up the frequency.

Yes. The Defender Wheel
is designed to spin

at a certain R.P.M.
that should counter

the frequency of the Puppetman.

It should be perfect.

It's loaded up
into Zeo Zord Five, Tommy.

Excellent, Billy. Thanks.

Guys, we got to move.

Back to action!

This satellite will brainwash
every kid on Earth.

I don't think so.

Zords, guys!

All together!

You're going to pay for that!

Let's finish this.

( laughs )

My turn!

Fantastic, eh, Orbus?

Get 'em, Puppetman.

Time to try out
that new Defender Wheel.

Taking it out for a spin.

Whoa!

Yeah!
We broke the transmission.

ALL:
Zeo Rangers!

( mindless groaning )

Whew.

Thank goodness.

What a day.

Hey, they stopped.

Oh!

How come Arnie is
still under the spell?

Something tells me
he's not coming out of it.

Boo!

( both screaming )

Oh, no! The Power Rangers have
stopped our evil transmission!

Hurry.
Make Puppetman grow!

Around and around
and away you go!

The show must go on,
Puppetman.

( gasps )

Here we go.

( laughing )

Whoa!
Puppetman's hit the big time.

ALL:
We need Zeo Zord Power now!

Puppetman is more ferocious
than ever.

Look at the Rangers
scurry to their Zords.

Let's do it!

Initiate assembly.

Zeo Five Battle Helmet,
activate!

Whoa!

Yeah!

Whoa!

Ahh!

Whoa! Yeah!

( laughs )

Whoa! Yeah!

Oh, yeah?

Hah!

Check this out.

Yeah!

Now for my next trick.
Hoo-ha!

Zeo Two Battle Helmet

activate!

You're out!
You're finished!

Zeo Four Battle Helmet

activate!

Come on. Toro! Toro!

Ooh!

Whoa!

Whoa!

( laughing )

Oh, ay-yi-yi!

This puppet is a real
pain on a string.

I think I've found something.

Guys, the computers
indicate that King Mondo

has a direct satellite
link to Puppetman

through his nose.

So destroy his nose,
and he'll be powerless.

Got it, billy.

Come on! I dare you,
powerless Rangers!

Whoa!

Oh! My nose!

Looks like your show
has just been canceled.

Oh!

♪ Go, Power Rangers. ♪

MONDO:
Those blasted zeo zeroes

have once again
defied and shamed

the Royal House of Gadgetry.

Next time they shall
not be so fortunate.

( cheering )

Hey-ya, hi-ya, h*-there, kids

and welcome to our show!

( cheering )

I sure am glad the show
is back to normal.

It's a good thing
Alpha had time

to reassemble Puppetman.

This time with a deflector
signal preventing King Mondo

from taking control
of his strings.

PUPPETMAN:
Let's get the show started.

You little monster

you are going
to stay right here

until your uncle gets back.

We'll tell him
how rotten you were.

Oh, yeah? Go ahead.

He'll be really glad to know

the two of you
can't handle one ten-year-old.

He'll kick you guys
off the police patrol so fast

It'll make your head spin.

There you are.

Well, Arnie,
did you behave nicely

for Bulkmeier and Skullovitch?

Yes, Uncle Jerome,
but you missed it.

Monsters invaded and we were
savedby the Power Rangers.

- By who, Arnie?
- By who, Arnie?

The Power Rangers.

( bell rings )

PUPPETMAN:
Well, you said the secret word.

Hey, hey...

Get up, man!

MAN: Cut.

Not possible!

It's not possible!

Whew!

Oh! I'm gonna cry!
