What happens

Deathstalker II is a 1987 sword and sorcery film directed by Jim Wynorski and written by Neil Ruttenberg. A sequel to 1983's Deathstalker, it the second installment in the Deathstalker film series. It stars John Terlesky who replaced Rick Hill in the title role. The story follows a princess who has been deposed and replaced by her evil clone. She poses as a seer while trying to reclaim her kingdom with the help of the warrior known as Deathstalker. Owing to its low-cost production and perceived self-awareness, director Wynorski called the film an "anachronistic comedy of sorts." Deathstalker II was the last sword and sorcery movie that Roger Corman produced in Argentina during the 1980s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
