In 1860, Mr. Brownlow lies dying. In his final moments, he reveals to Oliver Twist that his will, leaving his entire estate to Oliver, is concealed in a secret drawer in his bedroom furniture. However, he dies before he can reveal its exact location. Overcome with grief, Oliver flees the house.
When he returns, he finds that, without the will, the estate has been awarded to Mr. Brownlow's only living relative- his criminal nephew Sam Sniperly. Sniperly has sold the house and the furniture. Homeless again, Oliver wanders the streets of London until he encounters his old friend the Artful Dodger, who has reformed from his previous criminal ways and now works as a costermonger to support a group of orphans that he has rescued from Mr. Bumble's workhouse.
Upon hearing of Oliver's predicament, he volunteers to help. They search for the furniture dealer who completed the sale and learn that it was sold to a Master Dreadly, to furnish his country manor. They decide to travel to the estate on foot to attempt to retrieve the will, but they're followed by Sniperly, who plans to destroy the will to preserve his claim.
Oliver and the Artful Dodger was released on VHS. It is available on DVD as part of Warner Archive's Hanna-Barbera Specials Collection set, released September 15, 2015. [3]
