Summary:
Sweeney Todd lures customers into his barber chair, gleefully promising to "polish them off." He then releases a trap door, dumping the unwary patrons into the basement. After robbing his victims, Sweeney Todd gives the bodies to a kindly old lady next door who makes them into "meat pies."
