In "Sweeney Todd," a barber named Benjamin Barker arrives back in London 15 years after he was falsely convicted and exiled by the corrupt Judge Turpin. On his return, the baker downstairs, Nellie, who has an unrequited love for Barker, tells him his wife, Lucy, killed herself after being raped by the judge. Adopting the alias Sweeney Todd, Barker seeks revenge, reopening his Fleet Street barbershop, where he murders those who wronged him with his old straight razors, after which Nellie bakes their remains into her pies. Barker will soon find everything is not as it seems.
