===How everyone joined the group===
The history of the Rangers as a team is told in the five-part pilot [[To the Rescue]]. The two chipmunks [[Chip]] and [[Dale]] had a certain connection with crime-fighting from the very beginning. They were friends with the police dog [[Plato]], and they accompanied him and [[Detective Donald Drake]]—who never learned that they exist—on some cases. But Drake's last case was to become the very first case of their own. He was falsely accused of having stolen the [[Klutchkoin Ruby]], and with him and Plato locked away in a cell, the only ones who could solve this case were Chip and Dale whom Plato sent out to find [[Aldrin Klordane]], the true thief who was officially pronounced dead.

So was [[Fat Cat]], his feline companion who already got to know (and hate) this little team of amateur crime-fighters when they were only two. They met [[Monterey Jack]] and his friend [[Zipper]] at the docks shortly before Fat Cat, pulling off his own evil plot, sunk the chest that was Monty's home. So the main reason for Monty to join them was revenge on Fat Cat, and Zipper simply didn't want to go on alone.

When flying was required to continue the case, Monty led his new friends to an old [[Bomber Plane|bomber plane]] where he expected his old buddy [[Geegaw Hackwrench]] to live. However, Geegaw was lost more than a year ago, and the only one left was his daughter [[Gadget Hackwrench|Gadget]] who first took over the pilot's job and then started a series of inventions which proved useful on the case. The Rangers were complete now when they encountered their second main villain, [[Norton Nimnul]].
