The Mane Six and Spike are off on another adventure, and this time it is one of the darkest ones they’ve had to date. They travel to Victorian London where they meet a young girl named Johanna who longs to be freed from her suppression by the corrupted Judge Turpin.

Meanwhile, Chrysalis meets a man by the name of Sweeney Todd, formerly Benjamin Barker, who is out for revenge on Turpin for wrongfully exiling him in order to steal his wife. The two eventually meet a struggling baker named Mrs. Lovett who aids them in their quest.

It is a tale of gore, music, and meat pies. Who will survive this grim tale and who will end up on the menu?
