Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street follows Benjamin Barker — a barber unjustly imprisoned by the lecherous Judge Turpin — who returns to London as Sweeney Todd, bent on revenge. Reopening his barbershop above Mrs. Lovett’s failing pie shop, Todd begins a murderous rampage, slitting the throats of his customers. Mrs. Lovett, ever resourceful, bakes the bodies into her suddenly popular meat pies. As Todd’s thirst for vengeance grows, the plot spirals into a dark tale of obsession, murder, and the quest for justice, leading to a blood-soaked, tragic climax.
