Aisha is giving a report in Ms. Appleby's class. Aisha: And television, as we know it, was first introduced at the World Fair, fifty years ago in 1939. Aisha presses in a tape. The tape shows black and white footage as a reporter talks. Reporter: As early as 1923, David Sarnoff recognized the possibility of developing a television system. In a historic memoriam, he had this to say. Quote "I believe that television, which is the technique name for seeing as well as hearing by radio, will come to pass in due course. The tape ended. Ms. Appleby walked to the front of the class. Ms. Appleby: That was a wonderful report Aisha. Class, can anyone remember from Aisha's report, who is the father of television? Bulk? Bulk gave the wrong answer and then Adam supplied the right answer. Ms. Appleby then told the students how the Power Rangers will be on the Harvey Garvey show to promote education. The bell rings and class is dismissed. Out in the hall, Adam is very nervous about appearing in front of the cameras. Aisha, Rocky, and Billy try to reassure him. They will be morphed, no one will see their faces. Adam is still nervous. Billy tells him to think of the message they will be sending. Elsewhere in the hall, Skull is at his locker when Bulk walks up. Skull asks him if he's going to come over to his house to watch the show. But Bulk has come up with a better plan. Bulk tells Skull they are going to set of Harvey Garvey. When the Rangers are on, they will go on the stage and removes their helmets, revealing the identities of the Power Rangers. Bulk thinks this will make them rich and famous.
Lord Zedd has been watching Angel Grove High School from his palace. Goldar, Baboo, and Squatt are with him. Lord Zedd: So, those star struck Power Punks want to send their message to the world. Well, I'll give them all a message to remember and alienate the Power Rangers at the same time. Baboo: He is truly the biggest star of all. Squatt: Bigger than elephants. Lord Zedd: Silence you blueberries for brains! Goldar: Yeah, silence! Lord Zedd wants Goldar to capture the teens. He will replace them with his evil Rangers and then have them deliver his message to the world.
The teens are walking together in the park. They are excited about doing the upcoming show. Rocky adds he likes being a Power Ranger, when it includes TV. appearances. Everyone laughs. Suddenly Goldar and several putties appear in the park. The teens morph. The Power Rangers battle the putties with strength and ease. Eventually most of the putties are destroyed. Red Ranger had gone flying through the air and kick Goldar. Goldar landed on the ground and rolled a bit. Goldar got back up and vowed it was not over. Goldar and the remaining putties vanished. The Rangers wondered what Goldar meant, but they couldn't do much. They needed to get to the show.
In his palace, Lord Zedd is furious and rants how Goldar couldn't capture the Rangers' grandmothers. There isn't time to make evil Rangers, so Lord Zedd decides to go with a monster.
At the Harvey Garvey show, the audience is cheering for the Power Rangers. Harvey Garvey appears on the stage and encourages the audience to cheer even more for the Power Rangers. Footage plays of the Power Rangers in battle. Harvey sits behind his desk and each Ranger comes out and strikes a pose to wild applause. The Rangers sit down and Harvey begins the interview. As the Rangers talk to Harvey, Bulk & Skull has managed to get back set. Bulk asks for some face powder and Skull obliges. Harvey talks to the Rangers about education. The Rangers explain how learning how to use your brain helped them numerous times. The Rangers give their battle against Pudgy Pig as an example. Back stage, Bulk wants Skull to release a weight on the Rangers, so they can remove their helmets. Skull released the wrong weight. On stage, Yellow Ranger and Red Ranger convince Harvey to come up front and they show him some moves. Harvey tries to copy them and falls on his back. The audience laughs. Back stage Bulk takes control and waits for a signal from Skull. When Skull gives him the signal, a weight falls on Bulk's head. Skull helps him remove the weight and Bulk is covered in feathers.
Lord Zedd decides since the Rangers enjoy playing in front of the camera, he will create a monster out of a camera. Lord Zedd creates Show Biz monster. In the Command Center, the alarm goes off. Zordon tells Alpha 5 he needs to contact the Rangers. Show Biz monster is attacking. Alpha 5 is reluctant to interrupt the Rangers when they are on TV, but Zordon insists that this is more important. On the show, Harvey is asking White Ranger what had happened to Green Ranger. Back stage, Bulk & Skull make another plan on revealing the Rangers. Alpha 5 contacts the Rangers and the Rangers tell Harvey they have to go. The Rangers tell everyone to stay in school and then teleport out. As this is going on, Bulk manages to get behind the set and then crashes through it. Harvey is walking to the front of the stage and Skull rushes out of well. Harvey, Bulk & Skull all crashed into each other and land on the floor. Harvey is angry with them as he gets up and leaves. The Rangers teleport to the Command Center. Zordon directs them to the viewing globe, which is showing Show Biz. Adam comments that he knew there was a reason he didn't like cameras. The Rangers are ready to go into action.
The Rangers arrive in the area of Show Biz. Show Biz immediately summons several putties and the Rangers are kept busy battling the putties. Lord Zedd is very pleased and tells Goldar this how it's done. Lord Zedd now wants Goldar to go down and battle White Ranger. Goldar is not to return until White Ranger is destroyed. Goldar teleports down. White Ranger and Goldar battle. Eventually the putties are destroyed. Lord Zedd is not happy and sends down his grow bomb. Show Biz is giant size. The five Rangers summoned their zords and then form their Megazord. The five Rangers battled Show Biz as White Ranger continues to battle Goldar. The five Rangers destroy Show Biz. White Ranger defeats Goldar and Goldar retreats. Lord Zedd is furious. The following day, Ms. Appleby is talking to her class and about last night's show of Harvey Garvey. Ms. Appleby wants to know what the kids think of the show. One student replies that if the Rangers think school is cool, then so does he. Ms. Appleby calls Rocky and Rocky tells Ms. Appleby that the show really touched him. Ms. Appleby comments that it touch all of them. Ms. Appleby takes a fax she received from their friends, Jason, Trini, and Zack. They had watched the show in Switzerland and was very moved by the program and the message of education. Bulk & Skull enter the class late and convinced they are now TV starts. Skull offers an autograph to a girl student and she tells him to get a life. Ms. Appleby sends Bulk & Skull to their seats. Then she tells them because they are late, they have detention all of next week. Bulk & Skull bang on their desks and are upset.
