Benjamin Barker is a barber who is sentenced to a life of hard labor in Australia for false charges by Judge Turpin, who lusted for the man’s beautiful wife, Lucy. Barker escapes after 15 years, and, after being rescued at sea by sailor Anthony Hope, returns to London, assuming the name Sweeney Todd. There he is told his wife has poisoned herself and his daughter has become the ward of the villainous Judge. The home and shop he once shared with his wife and daughter is now a run-down room full of scattered relics of the past. The room sits above a meat-pie emporium run by his former landlady, Nellie Lovett, who by her own admission sells “the worst pies in London”. She takes him in and recognizes him. She is and was besotted by Barker. She returns his set of razors, and he vows revenge upon those who have destroyed his life and family.
