Synopsis:
The infamous story of Benjamin Barker (a.k.a Sweeney Todd), a barber who is married to the gorgeous Lucy, and they have a lovely child, Johanna. The beauty of Lucy attracts the attention of the corrupt Judge Turpin that falsely accuses the barber of a crime that he had not committed and abuses of Lucy later.
After fifteen years in exile, Benjamin returns to London under the new identity of Sweeney Todd, seeking revenge against Turpin. Sweeney Todd meets the widow Mrs. Lovett and owner of a meat pie shop that tells him that Lucy committed suicide with arsenic many years ago, and Turpin assigned himself as tutor of Johanna. He opens a barber shop above her store, initiating a crime rampage against those that made him suffer and lose his beloved family.
