Power of the Leopard

For over 10,000 years, a spirit of pure evil known as Dai Shi has been locked away and safely guarded by the Pai Zhuq - The Order of the Claw - a secretive Kung Fu clan. The Pai Zhuq select their four top members, Jarrod, Theo Martin, Kate Rubie ,and Lily Chilman, to become the new guardians of Dai Shi. Jarrod's arrogant and bullying nature led to him being excluded and a rookie named Casey Rhodes is chosen instead.

During the initiation ceremony, Jarrod returns and attacks Master Mao, inadvertently breaking the vessel containing Dai Shi's essence as he does so. The freed Dai Shi kills Master Mao and takes over Jarrod's body. The new guardians travel to the city of Ocean Bluff to seek their new master and find him to be a man named Robert "RJ" James - chef and owner of Jungle Karma Pizza. After testing the guardians, RJ grants them the powers and abilities of Jungle Fury Power Rangers - making them Earth's only hope to stop Dai Shi - who along with his Lieutenant Camille, other henchmen, and an army of undead Rinshi warriors is attempting to take over the world and allow animals to rule over humans.
