11/14/89
The Rescue Rangers discover that Normie, Professor Nimnul's obnoxious nephew, has entered a Molecular Audio Empathizer as his project for the local school science fair. The empathizer makes objects emulate whatever sound is played into it and causes chaos in the school gym when Normie replaces the regular record with a sound effects album. A volcano chugs and erupts to the sound of locomotive whistle and a model of a car engine takes off and flies to the sound of an airplane. The Rescue Rangers use the same record to destroy Professor Nimnul's lab when he attempts to use the empathizer enslave the city.

Meanwhile, they discover that Quigley, a carnival barker and Abba-Dabba, his trained monkey, are responsible for a series of robberies. As more of the predictions come true, Chip's confidence is undermined. The climax occurs in a Funhouse where Chip put his fears aside to help his friends.

To make matters worse, Jolly Rogers PI-rat ship lands on the beach looking for the buried treasure. Monty and Dale's greed lead to the capture of Gadget, Chip, and Zipper by the rodent buccaneers.

Don Keyhole relates the tale of how Monty stopped the nasty bull El Emenopio from ruining the bull run many years before, but now that steer has returned and stolen the local oxen as revenge.

Dale watches as they uproot the trees and transport them upstream. The next morning, the Rangers don't believe him, thinking he's just making up stories to cover his snacking.

An excellent series that still holds up very well, nearly 30 years later. The HD transfers available here look very good, though (as of this writing) there does not seem to be an HD version of Volume 2 available. The episodes are intelligently written, without pandering to children and still enjoyable for adults with fond memories of the series as well as newcomers. Definitely worth picking up.
