Oliver Twist

A young boy, on the run from a brutal1 orphanage2, falls in with a wily pickpocket3.

Abandoned at an early age, Oliver Twist is forced to live in a workhouse lorded over by the awful Mr. Bumble, who cheats the boys of their meager4 rations5. Desperate yet determined6, Oliver makes his escape to the streets of London. Penniless and alone, he is lured7 into a world of crime by the sinister8 Fagin--the mastermind of a gang of pint-sized pickpockets9. Oliver's rescue by the kindly10 Mr. Brownlow is only the beginning of a series of adventures that lead him to the promise of a better life.
