Synopsis
After many years in prison, for a crime that he did not commit, the barber Sweeney Todd is back in London. Determined to seek revenge on the corrupt Judge Turpin, the man who imprisoned him and robbed him of his wife and daughter, Sweeney Todd sharpens his precious razors, waiting for the right time. Practising his slaughter on unhappy customers, widow Mrs Lovett turns the kills into delicious meat pies.
