==Synopsis==

On his birthday, [[Chip]] gets frustrated about never having the chance to deal with cases as big as those of his role model, [[Sureluck Jones]]. He wishes for a really big and tough case—and his wish is granted in a way he would never have expected it. A mysterious villain named Ivana M. Killjoy kidnaps the other [[Rescue Rangers]], torments them, using her vast knowledge about every single Ranger, and gives Chip rhyming hints to retrieve them. He is given time until sunset after which Ivana threatens to kill his friends.
