Ben (Fisher Stevens) has been reduced to selling toy copies of Johnny Five on the street corners. Sandy Banatoni (Cynthia Gibb) is a associate from Simpson toy department who runs across one of the tiny Johnny Fives. She orders for more toys which Ben is incapable of making by himself. Hustler Fred Ritter (Michael McKean) insinuates himself into the deal. He borrows from a loan shark to rent out a rundown place across from a giant bank. Little do they know that diamond thieves are trying to break into the bank through their rundown place. The thieves try to run them out. Then Johnny Five arrives from Newton and Stephanie's Montana ranch to help Ben build his toys.
It's a scaled-back sequel to the cute original. That explains the loss of the lead actors and relocate shooting to Toronto. Ally Sheedy only has a voice message. On the other hand, Fisher Stevens returns with the racially insensitive character. The movie is not only lower quality. It is more mean-spirited without the cute Newton and Stephanie romance. It's stupider. Johnny Five still has a bit of charm but the franchise is no longer fun.
