When a merchant goes missing, a young American investigates the disappearance and discovers the truth about Sweeney Todd, a skilled barber, and his business partner Mrs. Lovett, a butcher.

The fictional tale of the murderous nineteenth century barber (Sir Ben Kinglsey) who sold his kills to a neighboring butcher (Joanna Lumley) for her renowned meat pies. A young innocent (Selina Boyack) and the dashing inspector (Campbell Scott) who tries to solve the murders are also thrown into the mix.—John Sacksteder <[email protected]>
