Plot
Seymour, an orphan and a nerd, is taken in and given a job by Mr.
Mushnik, the owner of a run down Florists in the seedy part of town. Seymour
spends his time doing boring tasks and dreaming of the shop assistant, Audrey.
One day, just after an eclipse of the Sun, Seymour discovers a strange plant. He
buys it and names it Audrey II. While caring for Audrey II, Seymour discovers
that Audrey II needs human blood to thrive.
Audrey II continues to grow quickly and Seymour becomes a local
celebrity. Seymour soon attempts to ask Audrey out, but she turns him down
because she has a date with her crazy, violent dentist boyfriend Orin Scrivello.
Despite this, Audrey is interested in Seymour, and dreams of marrying him and
escaping Skid Row and going "Somewhere That's Green". After Seymour closes up
shop, Audrey II begins to talk to Seymour, demanding more blood than Seymour can
give. The plant proposes Seymour murders someone in exchange for fame and
fortune; at first Seymour refuses, but agrees after seeing Orin slapping
Audrey.
