Tommy, Kimberly, and Trini are building sand castles with Trini's neighbor, Hallie. Hallie thought it would be romantic to be a sleeping princess in a castle, waiting for her prince. Tommy thought it was sappy. Richie walked by. Trini and Richie exchanged glances and hellos. Bulk & Skull were also at the beach. Bulk & Skull had come up with the idea of disguising themselves as putties, in order to lure the Power Rangers and discover their identities. Acting as putties, Bulk & Skull ran around the beach and in the process destroy a small boy's sand castle. The small boy gave Bulk a kick, effectively chasing off Bulk & Skull. Kimberly, Tommy, and Trini are amused until they hear Hallie's screams. Trini, Tommy, and Kimberly soon find Hallie being held captive by several putties and Goldar is there as well. Goldar tosses them a bottle and then vanishes before they can do anything. Tommy opens the bottle, which contains a message from Lord Zedd. Kimberly, Trini, and Tommy teleport to the command center, where Billy, Jason, and Zack are waiting. Billy translates the message, which is a ransom note. Lord Zedd will exchange Hallie for Tommy. Zordon tells them Hallie is being held on an island. Billy quickly comes up with an idea on how to rescue her. Billy teleports to his home with Jason and Trini and immediately begins working on a device to find Hallie.
Billy, Trini, and Jason stand outside by a cliff and tried to float a balloon with the device. Zack, Kimberly, and Tommy monitor the situation in the command center. Zack thinks the device at the command center is working. Billy releases the balloon and it successfully takes off. Trini, Jason, and Billy return to the command center. The device locates Hallie - she is being held on Venus Island. Lord Zedd is attempting to turn Hallie evil. This makes Trini, Jason, Kimberly, Tommy, Billy, and Zack more determined to rescue her. There is some debate as to whether Tommy should go, since his powers are weak. Tommy insists on going and they accept his decision. They teleport to Venus Island.
Jason, Zack, Tommy, Kimberly, Trini, and Billy immediately begin searching for Hallie on Venus Island. They are confront by Invenusable Flytrap. Zack, Tommy, Kimberly, Trini, Billy, and Jason morph and begin battling Invenusable Flytrap. Invenusable Flytrap captures Pink Ranger, Red Ranger, Black Ranger, and Blue Ranger. Zordon contacts Yellow Ranger and Green Ranger and tells them to return to the command center. Tommy and Trini teleport to the command center. Zordon is concern because Tommy has weaken, although Tommy insists that he is okay. Trini tells them she will rescue Hallie and their friends on their own. Tommy tells Trini he will go ahead with the trade. Tommy tells Trini he will try to resist Lord Zedd, but if he ends up evil again and hurts them to tell their friends he is sorry. Tommy is prepare to leave when one of the computers goes off. Alpha 5 takes the paper and tells them Invenusable Flytrap has a weakness - heat. Trini and Tommy now have a new plan and teleport back to Venus Island. Yellow Ranger and Green Ranger, state very loudly, that Invenusable Flytrap weakness is heat. The Rangers inside Invenusable Flytrap can hear them and start to generate heat from within. Green Ranger and Yellow Ranger also generate some heat and fire at Invenusable Flytrap. The Rangers are released and they are okay. The Rangers destroy Invenusable Flytrap. The Rangers find the cave Hallie is in. Yellow Ranger fires at the grid surrounding Hallie and destroy its. Hallie wakes up. Green Ranger walks up and picks up Hallie. Hallie is thrilled to be rescue by a prince.
The following day, Trini and Hallie are at the Youth Center. Bulk & Skull are questioning Hallie as to what the Rangers look like. Bulk & Skull have brought in an artist to sketch out Hallie's descriptions. A large crowd stands behind Bulk & Skull. Tommy, Jason, Zack, and Kimberly walk in and become concern when they see what is going on. Hallie tells Bulk & Skull there were ten Rangers and gives descriptions on the Green Ranger, as being 6' or 6'1" with long, brown hair, hazel eyes, and very muscular. Hallie told Bulk & Skull the Red Ranger had brown hair, dark mysterious eyes, and big shoulders. Excitedly Bulk & Skull asked the artist if he was getting all of these and the artist assured them he was. The artist he was done. Without looking at the sheet of paper, Bulk announced that he was going to reveal the identities of the Power Rangers. Bulk held the sheet of paper over his head and opened it. The sheet showed ten figures from the renaissance era. The crowd erupted in laughter. Bulk & Skull looked at the sheet and Bulk couldn't believe it. The artist told them it was the only way he drew. Hallie walked over and took the sheet - the drawing appealed to her romantic imagination. Jason, Tommy, Zack, and Kimberly joined in the crowd's laughter - relieved that their identities had not been revealed.
