What happens

Mannequin Two: On the Move is a 1991 romantic comedy film and a sequel to the 1987 film Mannequin. The film stars Kristy Swanson as a "peasant girl" named Jessie who is enchanted by evil sorcerer Spretzel's magic necklace, freezing her in the form of a wooden mannequin. She is to remain frozen for one thousand years, or until the necklace is removed by the person who will be her true love. In modern-day Philadelphia, she is freed by Jason Williamson (William Ragsdale), a new employee of the Prince & Company department store and the descendant of Jessie's original love Prince William. The two fall in love while avoiding Count Gunther Spretzle (Terry Kiser), the descendant of the evil sorcerer. The original film's theme song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship, written by Diane Warren and Albert Hammond, was featured in this film. The original music score was composed by David McHugh. Though the sequel takes place in the same Philadelphia department store Prince & Company as the original film, only actors Meshach Taylor and Andrew Hill Newman returned from the original film. Taylor reprises the role of Hollywood Montrose and briefly references having witnessed a similar romance during the first film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
