003: Ch. 5-7, Sweeney Todd

IN WHICH Johanna learns sad news about her missing fiance, and Sweeney Todd makes an attempt to fence the pearls he stole from Mr. Thornhill after murdering him in Chapter 1 ... but the pearls are worth the equivalent, in modern money, of about $4.5 million. The attempt will not go the way the barber hopes ....

A thunderous welcome to all you dimber doxies, prime coves, fly Corinthians and knights of the brush and moon! Welcome to my chaffing crib. It’s Saturday night, and that means it’s time to schuck yer flyers and put up yer pins. Fill yer flickers with blue ruin, sluice yer tombstones, and prick up yer lugs, because another episode of the Penny Dreadful Story Hour is upon us like Dick Turpin on a spooney!
