Oliver Twist (John Howard Davies) is born in a workhouse to an unwed mother who dies in childbirth. The years go by and Oliver is regularly mistreated by Mr. Bumble (Francis L. Sullivan), caretaker of the workhouse. At the age of nine, the hungry Oliver asks for a second helping of gruel (“Please sir, I want some more”) and for his actions is promptly sold as an apprentice to Mr. Sowerberry (Gibb McLaughlin).
