Several teens are in the Youth Center, getting ready for the clean up drive in Angel Grove community. Trini, Zack, and Billy are among the teens. A television reporter is there as well and she, and her camera man, film the teens. The television reporter talks to Zack about the clean up drive. The television reporter tells the group that a rumor is going around that the Power Rangers will be there. Zack doesn't know what to say and Trini covers for him by telling the reporter, they don't know as they don't know the Power Rangers. The interview ends and the reporter thanks them. As everyone leaves for the clean up drive, Bulk & Skull stay behind and check out the television reporter's equipment. The reporter comes up to them and asks what they are doing. Bulk & Skull claim they want to keep an eye on the equipment for her, she tells them they don't have to, she's got it covered. Bulk comes up with an idea - to film the Power Rangers at the park and then remove their helmets and reveal their identities.
At Angel Grove park, Tommy, Kimberly, and Jason are cleaning up with several other teens. The camera man has arrive and starts interviewing Tommy. Putties and a monster arrived and everyone starts running. Kimberly, Jason, and Tommy begin to fight the putties, unaware that the camera left behind, is recording. Jason, Tommy, and Kimberly morphed. Several putties grab a hold of Green Ranger and the monster opens his jar and Green Ranger is pulled into the jar. Red Ranger and Pink Ranger try to help, but they are too late. Red Ranger and Pink Ranger contact the Alpha 5 and tell him to contact the others and have them meet in the command center. After everyone has left the park, Bulk & Skull walk up to the camera. They realized the camera has recorded the Rangers and they take the tape. At the command center, Trini, Billy, and Zack are filled in. Billy tries to search for Tommy, using the data, but he is unable to locate him. Meanwhile, Green Ranger is being held captive in one of Lord Zedd's dimensions.
The alarm goes off. The monster is back and defacing property in order to lure the Rangers out. Trini, Billy, Jason, Zack, and Kimberly suit up and head off to battle the monster. As the Rangers battle the monster, Blue Ranger steps back, trying to figure out the monster's weakness. Blue Ranger notices the monster is very vain. The monster manages to trap Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Black Ranger in his jar. Blue Ranger and Red Ranger return to the command center. Billy begins working on the device to trap the monster, while Jason goes back into action. Red Ranger soon finds the monster and they battle. Yellow Ranger, Black Ranger, Green Ranger, and Pink Ranger are held captive above the battle, guarded by putties. Eventually Blue Ranger appears with the device. Red Ranger uses the device, which is a mirror, to distract the monster. Blue Ranger fights the putties and releases the Rangers. Green Ranger is very weak and Blue Ranger sends him to the command center. The Rangers call for their zords and the battle escalates into a Megazord battle against the large monster. The Rangers destroy the monster.
At the Youth Center, everyone is enjoying the buffet set up for the success of the clean-up drive. Jason thanks Billy for his help. Kimberly fills in Zack, Trini, Jason, and Billy on Tommy's condition. Tommy is still weak, but he will be okay. Bulk & Skull walk in triumphantly and announce they have a tape of the Power Rangers' identities from the park. Jason, Zack, Trini, Billy, and Kimberly become concern. Bulk tries to put the tape in, but Jason blocks the VCR with his hand. Zack quickly takes the tape and tells Bulk & Skull that they need a label for such an important tape. While Bulk & Skull protest, Zack walks around and switches tapes with Billy. Zack hands Bulk & Skull a different tape. Bulk places the tape in, and it's a tape of cartoons. Bulk is upset, but Skull wants him to be quiet, as it is his favorite cartoon. Zack, Trini, Billy, Kimberly, and Jason laugh in relief.
