It follows Sweeney Todd, a barber who returns to the city after being wrongfully imprisoned, seeking vengeance against the corrupt Judge Turpin who destroyed his family. Teaming up with the cunning pie shop owner Mrs. Lovett, Todd begins a gruesome killing spree, using his barber chair to dispatch victims whose remains become the filling for Lovett’s meat pies.
