When the unjustly imprisoned Sweeney Todd returns to London, he vows revenge upon those who framed him. Joining forces with Mrs. Lovett he kills and she bakes his customers into her meat pies.

第一幕
("Overture")
一對母女瑪格麗特和卡拉來到意大利翡冷翠，("Statues and Stories")在一次機緣下卡拉遇上了意大利男子法比斯奧，並一見鍾情。("The Beauty Is")可是瑪格麗特卻千方百計阻隢二人。法比斯奧決意要追求卡拉，("Il Mondo Era Vuoto")他要其兄弟喬斯彼和其父幫忙。("American Dancing")在法比斯奧的父親的幫助下，瑪格麗特總算軟化了。("Passeggiata")不久法比斯奧邀二人到家中一眾，喬斯彼之妻法蘭卡要卡拉小心男人，("The Joy You Feel")而瑪格麗特看出法比斯奧的確愛著卡拉，這加深了她的憂慮。
迷惘的瑪格麗特打長途電話給其夫萊爾，可是萊爾對此事不置可否，並認為沒她所想那麼嚴重，可瑪格麗特就是放心不下。("Dividing Day")她突然發覺卡拉背著她去了幽會，焦急得如熱窩上的螞蟻。卡拉被迷失在翡冷翠的街中，突然變得歇斯底里，大聲尖叫起來。("Hysteria")還好瑪格麗特找到了她，並把她帶回酒店。原來卡拉小時受過驚嚇，雖然身體已經20多歲，可實際上只有10歲左右的智商。在瑪格麗特去找東西喝的同時法比斯奧來求婚，("Say it Somehow")瑪格麗特回來時驚恐地發現二人在擁吻。
第二幕
瑪格麗特決定要盡快把卡拉帶回美國，法比斯奧為失戀而痛呼。("Aiutami")可是卡拉卻一定要回去翡冷翠，並堅持不去美國。瑪格麗特無奈，二人遂回酒店。("The Light in the Piazza")眾人都為年下的少年男女和自己的婚姻各有各看法，("Octet")法蘭卡為讓其夫妒忌親吻法比斯奧被卡拉撞見，結果又變成一個亂子。在綵排上，法比斯奧之父突然帶家人離開，這讓卡拉感迷惑，而瑪格麗特則一再決意保護她。("The Beauty Is (Reprise)")
原來法比斯奧之父發覺卡拉的年齡是26歲，和其子20歲的法比斯奧有點不適合。瑪格麗特欣喜他沒發現卡拉的毛病，並成功說服了他繼續婚禮。("Let's Walk")瑪格麗特向萊爾報告，萊爾不同意讓卡拉結婚，瑪格麗特跟他爭辯，這一切卻被卡拉聽到了。她再一次流浪在翡冷翠街頭，("Clara's Interlude")並告訴法比斯奧她不嫁了。終於法比斯奧獲悉所有真相，並再次重申他對卡拉的愛。("Love to Me")在婚禮前卡拉向瑪格麗特說她離不開她，然而瑪格麗特卻說沒問題的。內心再次掙扎的瑪格麗特("Fable")終於加入了二人的婚禮。
