After the witch was accidentally released from the galactic trash can on the moon, Zorton chose four athletic teenagers and their clever friend Billy to fight the evil Rita Reza, her monsters, and her little yellow people. In the later stages of the series, the Rangers joined Tommy, who was once an evil Green Ranger designed specifically for Rita's evil, but later canceled programming and briefly played two parts of the Green Ranger in the series. Over time, some forest rangers have had to pass on their power to others as well. The action scenes and the scenes with Rita are based on Japanese action legends. The replacement villain Lord Zedd was designed in the United States. By Ondre Lombard{ piero@cyberverse.com }
