After villagers in the 1400s imprison him in a statue, Rumplestiltskin is released when Shelly, a policeman's widow, buys the statue at a mystery shop in an alley, even though she is warned not to buy it by the proprieter. When Shelly makes a wish, a lone tear rolls down her check and lands on the statue, lifting the curse on it's occupant. Rumplestiltskin comes back to life to make her wish come true. The bad thing is that in exchange for the wish, he wants Shelly's baby.
The rest of the film is creepy little Rumplestiltskin looking like Billy Crystal in the
Princess Bride and chasing Shelly while repeatedly saying "I just want the baby Johnny." No one shall question why an imp from the 1400s knows how to drive a motorcycle, an 18 wheeler, or makes quips referencing current pop culture, including the A-Team.
