In Little Shop of Horrors, Seymour Kreborn, a shy and downtrodden shop assistant, works at Mushniks Skid Row Florists, alongside his crush, Audrey, a sweet but mistreated girl. Seymour discovers a strange and unusual plant during a total eclipse, which he names Audrey II in honour of his coworker.
As Seymour nurtures the plant, he learns that it thrives on human blood. Initially hesitant, Seymour reluctantly feeds Audrey II drops of his own blood, leading to its rapid growth and the flower shop's newfound popularity.
The success attracts attention from media and customers alike, transforming Seymour's life. However, as Audrey Il's appetite grows, Seymour faces a moral dilemma. He must continue feeding the insatiable plant to maintain his newfound success or confront the consequences of his actions.
Meanwhile, Audrey struggles in her abusive relationship with Orin Scrivello, a sadistic dentist. Despite Seymour's feelings for her, he believes he's not good enough for her and lacks the courage to express his love. As events unfold, including Orin's demise at the hands of Audrey II, Seymour realizes the extent of the plant's evil intentions.
Audrey Il, revealed to be an alien creature with plans for world domination, demands more blood, pushing Seymour to his limits. Ultimately, Seymour must confront Audrey Il to save himself and those he cares about. The story culminates in a thrilling and unexpected showdown between Seymour and the monstrous plant, with surprising twists and sacrifices along the way.
