Oliver himself was born in a workhouse and treated cruelly there. The story followed Oliver as he escaped the workhouse and ran away to London. Here he received an education in villainy from the criminal gang of Fagin that includes the brutal thief Bill Sikes, Dodger and Nancy. Mr Brownlow rescued Oliver, but the mysterious Monks got the gang to kidnap the boy again. Nancy wanted to help Oliver, but Sikes murdered her viciously after she had shown some redeeming qualities and had discovered Monks sinister intention. In the end, good defeated evil.
