His name is Oliver and he is told to leave by the greedy caretakers, Mr Bumble and the widow Corney. Mr. Bumble actually sells Oliver to the undertakers Mr and Mrs Sowerberry. Oliver manages to escape and goes on the run and so begins his new life in the city of London. There he meets the Artful Dodger, friends and Fagin, a criminal who teaches the boys to pick pockets. Oliver is befriended by Nancy, an older member of the gang and live-in wife of Bill Sykes, a brutal house-burglar.
