Charles Dickens explores 19th Century London crime world through the story of Oliver Twist, an orphaned, born and raised in a workhouse. Oliver runs away, only to land in the London underworld. Dickens explores this crucible of crime, debauchery and abuse where Fagin, running a gang of pickpockets, forces Oliver into street theft. Caught but cleared in trial, Oliver receives kindness from Mr. Barlow. However, he's ensnared again and forced to participate in a failed robbery, getting shot in the arm and taken in by Rose Maylie. Together, Rose, Barlow, and the sympathetic Nancy, part of Fagin's gang, shield Oliver from Fagin and Monks.
