In Britain in the 1830s, a baby boy fell to the ground in a slum on a cold, windy night. After the baby boy was born, his mother died. No one knows the identity of the mother, and the baby boy becomes an unknown orphan. Later, he was adopted by the local church, and the female steward who raised him named the baby boy Oliver. When Oliver was 9 years old, because there was no one to support him to go to school, he entered the children's workshop of the workhouse and began to engage in heavy manual labor. Because Oliver does not play slippery or lazy, nor flattery, so he is often beaten and scolded by the supervisor. These children who are in the developmental stage do not cover their bodies all day long and have no food to eat. In desperation, they decided to draw lots to select the candidate who proposed to add porridge, and it was Oliver who was drawn. At dinner, Oliver made his request truthfully. The shocked steward decided to drive away this hidden danger of rebellion.
Oliver failed to become a chimney sweeper. The workhouse allowed the owner of the funeral home to take Oliver back with a reward of five pounds. Oliver became the apprentice of the owner of the funeral home, and soon received the attention of the owner and his wife, but he was also jealous of the older apprentice Noel. As Knoll made fun of Oliver's dead mother, Oliver fought hard and couldn't bear it. Later, Oliver was not only misunderstood by the boss, but also severely beaten by the boss. In a fit of anger, Oliver ran away with bitterness and ran to the distant foggy London.
In the suburbs of London, Oliver, who was hungry and cold, met Atford. Atford not only provided him with a shelter, but also introduced him to a man named Faginplayed. The innocent Oliver didn't know that the place he lived was actually a den of thieves. These children were used as criminal tools, and Fagin was their "godfather". One day, Oliver and Atford took to the street together. Atford was accidentally revealed during the theft, while Oliver was caught as a thief and entered the police station in the chaos. A bookstore owner proved Oliver's innocence, and Brownlow, the rich man who was stolen, was also affectionate, so he took Oliver to his home.
Fagin and his accomplice Sickdid not give up and kidnapped Oliver while he was out to buy books, while Brownlow mistakenly thought that the little boy was absconding with the money, and was disappointed. Oliver, who returned to the thieves' nest, confided the situation of Brownlow's house under Fagin's deceit, and was forced by Sigg to rob him. Although the robbery was successfully prevented, Oliver was shot cold. When Seak was about to throw Oliver into the river, Toby, who was with him, rescued Oliver. The sinister and unpredictable Sick still encourages Fagin to get rid of Oliver to avoid future troubles, while his girlfriend Nancy tries to protect Oliver and gets in touch with Brownlow, hoping to help the innocent Oliver escape from the magic cave. However, Nancy's intentions had been detected by Fagin, and Nancy was brutally killed by Sigg soon after. The police arrested Sigg and Fagin. Sick died accidentally while escaping, and Fagin was eventually brought to justice. Before Fagin's sentence, Brownroe took Oliver to visit Fagin in prison. Despite all the misfortunes that Fagin created, the kind-hearted Oliver still silently prayed for him in his heart
