Inspired by Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist," Oliver is the only one of a litter of kittens who is not adopted by a human and is left to fend for himself on the streets of New York. One day he meets Dodger, a cocky terrier mix who introduces him to his friendly pack of ruff 'n' ready canine pickpockets. They work for their "owner," Dorman who is paying off his debt to a local mafia-type crime boss. When a little rich girl named Jenny adopts Oliver the crime ring sees this as an opportunity and asks for ransom for the little kitten. In the end, the little girl is kidnapped by the crime boss and must be rescued by Oliver and other animals.
