Clopin bought Esmeralda from the gypsies when she was young. Dancing in the square at the festival, Esmeralda is spotted by Jehan, the evil brother of the good archdeacon Claude Frollo. When he sets Quasimodo out to kidnap Esmeralda, Phoebus, Captain of the Guards, rescues her and captures Quasimodo. The courts sentence Quasimodo to be flogged, and the only one who will give him water while he is tied in the square is Esmeralda. After Clopin forces Esmeralda to leave Phoebus at the ball, she sends a note to Phoebus to meet her at Notre-Dame. In the garden, Phoebus is stabbed in the back by Jehan. Esmeralda is accused of stabbing Phoebus, convicted by the courts and sentenced to hang. When Esmeralda again rejects Jehan, he tells her that Phoebus is dead, even though it is not true. Clopin, Phoebus and Quasimodo all try different ways to save Esmeralda. 当我们在专注于奇观时，我们遗忘了什么？。 故事发生在车水马龙的大都市巴黎，巴黎圣母院的科罗德神父（奈杰尔·德·布鲁里亚 Nigel De Brulier 饰）收养了加西莫多（朗·钱尼 Lon Chaney 饰），安排他住在一幢钟楼里，因为样貌格外的丑陋，他被人们称作为钟楼怪人。 科罗德神父虽然看上去一本正经饱受教徒们的尊敬，实际上却是一个非常贪婪好色的男人。一次偶然中，科罗德神父邂逅了名为艾丝美拉达（帕奇·鲁斯·米勒 Patsy Ruth Miller 饰）的吉普赛少女，深深被后者的美貌所迷住的神父指使卡西莫多掳走了艾丝美拉达，所幸骑兵上尉队长菲比斯（诺曼·克里 Norman Kerry 饰）出手相救，艾丝美拉达因此深深的爱上了他。
