The cartoon starts with Oliver, an anthropomorphic dog who lives in a nasty workhouse. After asking the workhouse master for more food, he is punished into doing all the dishes. Having enough of his life at the workhouse, he escapes and is saved by the rabbit Artful Dodger, who takes him to Fagin's Brotherhood, led by the wise fox Fagin. Fagin allows Oliver to live with them if he proves himself, through three tasks. Oliver succeeds and is invited to stay with them. After this, the show settles into an episodic format, in which the main cast experiences all sort of adventures, while trying to avoid the workhouse master, who desperately wants to return Oliver to the workhouse.

It is also notable for drastically changing the personalities of all the named characters in the original book. Fagin, for example, is less of a scoundrel and more of a wire mentor in this version.

!! This series features examples of:
* AdaptationalBadass: In this version, Oliver takes much more initiative, rather than just having things happen to him. In the first episode, he decides to escape from the workhouse on his own. The original did not do this.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: As mentioned above, all of Fagins negative traits are non-existent here. The same goes for Dodger, who is a pickpocket in the original. Here, he is just an orphaned kid who would never break the law.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The workhouse master goes to great lengths to catch Oliver to return him to the orphanage. In the original book, he was just a sour man doing his job.

* BigBad: This role rotates between the workhouse master, who wants to return Oliver to the workhouse and Bill Sykes, a nasty criminal who hates Oliver and his friends.
* ButNotTooEvil: Bill Sikes is a murderer in the original book. This would obviously not be allowed in a children's cartoon, so they turned him into a small time criminal instead.
* CanonForeigner: Princess Annushka, also a member of Fagin's brotherhood is a character that did not exist in the original work.
* CatsAreMean: Played straight with the henchmen of the workhouse master. These are a duo of mean, but bumbling anthropomorphic cats, who try to catch Oliver. Averted with Nancy, who is more or less the TeamMom of Fagin's Brotherhood.
