The Ranger Who Came in from the Gold is the thirty-ninth episode of Power Rangers Zeo. This is the fourth episode of the Louie Kaboom arc.

Synopsis[]

Kat and Tanya are putting together a ballet about King Midas, but are a little short on props. So, they hire Bulk & Skull to hunt them down, which leads to them finding Louie Kaboom's Midas Monster, who starts turning literally everything into gold, including Jason.

Plot[]

The story begins with the Power Rangers getting ready for the play King Midas, but they have a problem, no props.

Up on the Moon, Rita, Zedd, Finster, Rito, and Goldar are driving around in their RV Base, and Rita is being a backseat driver. Zedd hits a rock and punctures their tires and they have to change them. This will take some time and Rita ask what is Louie Kaboom up to.

At the Machine Skybase, Louie has had himself officially declared King of the Machine Empire. This makes Machina angry since she is the queen, but Louie locks her and Sprocket in the dungeon. Louie then deploys a monster named Midas Hound to Earth to destroy Angel Grove.

Back at the Youth Center, the Power Rangers are practicing for the play, and still the prop problem has not been solved. Kat and Tanya solve this by sending Bulk and Skull to look for some props.

Louie then announces he is the king of the Machine Empire and heads to Earth to deploy Midas Hound.

Back in Angel Grove Bulk and Skull are looking for props. Behind them, Louie deploys Midas Hound. Bulk and Skull pick him up and Midas Hound turns everything and everyone to gold. Bulk and Skull then run off back to the Youth Center.

Bulk and Skull race back to the Youth Center and warn the Power Rangers about Midas Hound. Kat and Adam head to the park to stop Midas Hound.

At the park they find Midas Hound; but he summons some Cogs, and the Power Rangers have no choice but to call backup. Klank and Orbus then make Midas Hound grow and he starts attacking Angel Grove and turning everything and everyone to gold.

Zordon then summons the Power Rangers and sends them to the park.

At the park they confront Louie Kaboom. Louie points Midas Hound at Jason, steals his powers, and turns him to gold. The Power Rangers retreat and Tommy goes back to spy on Louie.

Back at the Power ChamberAlpha 5, Billy, and Zordon come up with a plan to break the Midas Curse placed on Jason. Suddenly the trouble alarms go off; on the Viewing Globe, Midas Hound is attacking Angel Grove and turning everything to gold. Zordon informs them that once Midas Hound turns something to gold, Louie feeds it to him and he becomes unstoppable. Zordon sends them back to the park and as a safety measure, tells the Power Rangers to summon their Zords. He has Adam sent to the Zeo Zord holding bay to get them ready for the fight.

The four remaining Rangers summon their Super Zeo Zords to fight Midas Hound, however, they are unable to get past its energy shield. The Midas House then turns parts of the Super Zeo Zords to gold immobilizing them.

Billy and Alpha then revive Jason, and send him back into the fight. Jason uses Pyramidas and attacks Midas Hound which destroys the outer shell, revealing the Midas Monster who blasts Pyramidas. Tommy decides to summon the Red Battlezord for extra muscle, and uses it to attack Midas Monster. Midas Monster's Golderizer is destroyed and the Midas Curse is broken, restoring the Super Zeo Zords. Midas Monster then catches all the Zords in chains which he uses to send electricity into them. Tommy summons Adam and the Zeo Zords to form the Zeo Megazord, which manages to cut the chains. With that, the Zeo Ultrazord is formed and Midas Monster is destroyed for good. Louie then flees for the Machine Skybase.

Back on the Moon, Rita, Zedd, Finster, Rito, and Goldar have changed the tire and head on their way. Goldar gives the map to Zedd, but it blinds him and they run over a probe and pop their tires again.

At the Youth Center, the Power Rangers preform their play King Midas, but since Bulk and Skull did not find the props they have to play King Midas and one of the servants. Since they never took dancing lessons they mess up and everyone gets a laugh.

Errors[]

  • When Orbus made the Midas Hound grow, he shot it with the enlarging energy without opening his mouth (the US Orbus prop being incapable of doing so).
  • Before teleporting to the Zord Holding Bay, Adam joined the others in summoning the Super Zeozords; his never came.
  • As the enlarged Midas Hound goldarizes Tanya’s Super Zeo Zord, it shows that it was goldarizing the Zord’s left arm and right leg, but when the Zord was done being goldarized, it was the left leg that was gold instead of the right.
  • Upon forming the Zeo Megazord, the Red Battlezord was still active despite it, like the inactive Super Zeo Zords, no longer having a pilot.

  • When Jason is changed into a gold statue, he is changed into a golden statue of Austin St. John, as opposed to a gold statue of the Gold Ranger costume. Upon being restored to normal, he returns to his morphed status.
