In the 1800s, young orphan Oliver Twist isforcibly brought to a workhouse in an unidentified town In England on his ninthbirthday. He and the other resident children are treated poorly and given verylittle food. Facing starvation, the boys select Oliver (through a lottery)to ask for more food at the next meal, which he tentatively does. This resultsin Oliver being chastised, and the workhouse officials, who are wealthy,well-fed, hypocritical men, decide to get rid of him. After nearly being soldas an apprentice toa cruel chimney sweep, Oliver is sent to Mr. Sowerberry, a coffin-maker, whosewife and senior apprentice take an instant dislike to the newcomer. After morepoor treatment, Oliver snaps and attacks Noah, the snotty older apprentice, forhaving insulted his mother. Noah howled instantly and brought Mrs. Sowerberryand Charlotte rushing in to drag Oliver away and lock him in the cold darkcellar. The Violent behavior of the orphan was duly brought to the notice ofMr. Sowerberry and also Mr. Bumble. Oliver was beaten, and knowing his lifewith the Sowerberrys will only get worse, he escapes on foot early the nextmorning.
With little food, Oliver determines to walk70 miles to London.After he collapses from hunger and exhaustion, a kindly old woman gives himfood and lodgings for the night. After a week of travel, he arrives at thecity, barefoot and penniless. He meets Jack Dawkins, or “The ArtfulDodger,” a boy-thief who takes Oliver to his home and hideoutat Saffron Hill that he shares with manyother young pickpockets and their eccentric elderlyleader, Fagin.Soon, Oliver is being groomed to join their gang. On his first outing with thepickpockets, two of the boys steal a man’s handkerchief and Oliver is framed.However he is proven innocent by an eyewitness, and the owner of thehandkerchief (the wealthy Mr. Brownlow)takes pity on Oliver, who had collapsed from a fever in the courtroom.Brownlow, believing that Oliver is innocent, informally adopts him, giving himnew clothes and the promise of a good education. However, while out running anerrand for Brownlow, Oliver is forcibly returned to the pickpocket gang byFagin’s associate, the evil Bill Sikes,and the young prostitute Nancy (who is in a complex andabusive relationship with Sikes). Fagin and Sikes worried that Oliver would“peach,” and tell the authorities about their criminal activity. Oliver is putunder supervision until Bill Sikes discovers the boy’s connection to the richMr. Brownlow. During midnight, Sikes and his accomplice, Toby Crackit, forceOliver to aid them in robbing Brownlow’s house. They are discovered and Oliveris wounded in a brief shootout between Brownlow and Sikes. As the three escape,Bill decides to murder Oliver to ensure his silence, but falls into a nearbyriver before he can take action.
Sikes survives his near-drowning, but isconfined to bed with a heavy fever. Fagin, despite treating Oliver kindly,remains crime-focused and plots with Sikes to kill Oliver when Sikes hasrecovered. Nancyhas a maternal love for Oliver and does not want to see him hurt, but she iscontrolled by the abusive Sikes. She drugs Bill, and goes to Brownlow’s housewhere she arranges to have him meet her on London Bridge atmidnight so she can provide information about Oliver. At the meeting, Nancy cautiously revealsthat Oliver is staying with Fagin, and that the authorities will easily findthem. Brownlow leaves to call the police. The Artful Dodger, who had been sentby a suspicious Fagin to spy on Nancy,had heard everything and is bullied by Bill Sikes to give up the information.Sikes is furious at Nancy’sbetrayal, and brutally beats her to death in their apartment.
The next day, information about Oliver andFagin appear in the newspaper, along with Nancy’smurder and Sikes is a suspect. Sikes’s ever-present dog, Bullseye, is a deadgiveaway to his identity. After unsuccessfully trying to kill the dog, Sikestakes up residence with Toby Crackit. Fagin, Oliver, and the boys are hidingthere too, after escaping their previous location before the police could findit. Bullseye escapes his master’s cruelty, and leads a group of police andlocals to the group’s hideout. Eventually, Dodger, outraged at Sikes forkilling the good-hearted Nancy,reveals their location to authorities. Bill Sikes takes Oliver onto the roof,knowing they won't shoot if the boy is with him. When trying to scale thebuilding using a rope, Sikes, distracted by his dog, loses his footing andaccidentally hangs himself to death.
Some time later, Oliver is livingcomfortably with Mr. Brownlow again. Fagin was arrested for his pick pocketingactions, and Oliver wishes to visit him in jail. Brownlow takes him to theprison, where they find Fagin ranting and wailing in his cell. Oliver isdistraught at Fagin’s fate, as he had been something of a father figure to him.Oliver tells Fagin “You were kind to me,” but soon, their bond breaks when apoliceman initially tells Oliver to leave, thinking that Fagin can play trickson the boy’s innocent mind, and wanting to escape execution. As Mr. Brownlowescorts a tearful Oliver to his own carriage, gallows arebeing set up in the courtyard. Townspeople begin to gather to watch Fagin’sexecution, while Mr. Brownlow and Oliver leave to start their new lives afresh.
