Synopsis[]
Kimberly reads the newspaper and discovers in an article that a world-famous gymnastics coach is coming to Angel Grove to look for a new gymnast to compete in the Pan Global Games and decides to go see him. Meanwhile, a car thief is at large in Angel Grove and Lt. Stone notifies Bulk And Skull to be on the lookout. They inadvertently help the thief, who steals Kimberly's car. Bulk and Skull commandeer a Cab and along with Kim give chase. However, Zedd and Rita turn the cab into the Crabby Cabbie monster, with the three trapped inside.
Plot[]
Rita and Zedd come up with a plan to create a monster with a Ranger trapped inside so that their fellow Rangers would not be able to destroy the monster due to the risk of destroying their friend.
Kimberly meets Tommy at the Juice Bar and tells him that a world-renowned trainer is in Angel Grove. After a discussion with Tommy, Kim decides to go and visit him once she had combed her hair and had a drink.
Kimberly's car is stolen and this gives Rita and Zedd the idea to create the monster when Kimberly, with the help of Bulk and Skull, commandeer a cab to chase the car thief.
Rita and Zedd turn the cab into the Crabby Cabbie, forcing the Rangers to try and contain the monster rather then destroy it until a way can be found to separate the humans from the monster.
Back at the Command Center, Alpha manages to create a device to extract Kimberly, Bulk, and Skull. Once Tommy in the White Shogunzord sees this, the Rangers form the Shogun Megazord, Tower formation and defeat the monster with the final spin attack strike.
Post-battle, Bulk and Skull catch the carjacker and return Kimberly's car. Kimberly tells the team she will try and see the visiting trainer when he returns for tryouts.
