Sweeney Todd, a barber in the 19th century London, has been unjustly exiled by a lecherous judge covetous of his wife. Todd returns home after 15 years to exact his revenge. With the aid of the cheerfully amoral Mrs Lovett, proprietress of the struggling meat pie shop located beneath Todd's barber shop. Sweeney wreaks vengeance on all mankind, slitting throats of unsuspecting customers and sending them downstairs to fill Mrs Lovett's meat pies. A frighteningly fun, suspenseful tribute to Victorian melodrama.
