Synopsis
Template:Spoilers A billionaire adventurer on an archaeological expedition in Africa finds the Corona Aurora, a crown that bestows ultimate power to the wearer, but it is missing its seven jewels. A ghostly Templar Knight visits the discoverer and tells him he must find the jewels or evil will be able to gain the power of the crown. The discoverer of the Corona Aurora uses his intelligence and wealth to construct technology and machinery and trust them in the hands of an elite team known as the Operation Overdrive Power Rangers.

He uses his wealth and intelligence to create the Tracker Morphers and entrusts them to a team of specialists, including his son Mack.
Villains
In Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive, there are competing factions of villains that the Rangers must combat to prevent from acquiring the Corona Aurora. According to the synposis, there will be at least two other factions, besides Moltor's army and Flurious' army.
- Moltor
- He lives in the heat of a volcano. He and his brother, Flurious, have fought since the beginning of time to obtain the Corona Aurora. His henchmen are called the Lava Lizards.
- Flurious
- His lair lies in a sub-zero glacier. His henchmen are called the Chillers.
Arsenal
- Drive Cell Morpher: The Overdrive Tracker is the Morpher for Operation Overdrive. It is equipped with a black light that can decode hidden messages, the Turbo Wheel which allows the Rangers to execute commands, and a keypad to be used for summoning their various Zords. "Overdrive Accelerate!".

Zords
As with every Power Rangers series, each Ranger gets his or her own personal Zord that can form a larger Megazord. In Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive, these Zords are all based on real vehicles.

Based on the source footage in Boukenger, there will be a total of eighteen Zords to be used among six Rangers. Other Zords include a giant drill vehicle, a backhoe, a concrete mixer, a crane, and a jet plane. These Zords are similar to the Auxiliary Dino Zords of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder in that they usually replace one of the arms of the core Megazord (execpt the jet). These five can also combine into another Megazord. A sixth silver-colored Ranger will have fire engine, police car, and ambulance Zords. The remaining five Zords make up a giant amphibious battleship/aircraft carrier Zord that turns into a separate Megazord. This Megazord's arms can also be interchangeable with the others.
