Plot
Oliver's mother, a penniless outcast, died giving birth to him. As a young boy, Oliver is brought up in a workhouse, later apprenticed to an uncaring undertaker, and eventually taken in by a gang of thieves who befriend him for their own purposes. All the while, there are secrets from Oliver's family history waiting to come to light.
Cast
Film preservation
The film was considered lost, until a print surfaced in Yugoslavia in the 1970s. The print lacked intertitles, which were subsequently restored by Blackhawk Films with the help of Jackie Coogan and Sol Lesser.
Coogan was at the height of his career during the filming, having played the title role in Charles Chaplin's The Kid the previous year.
DVD release
On June 30, 2009, a Region 0 DVD of the movie was released by Alpha Video.
