In the midst of the throng of spectators, a pale, middle-aged man, dressed in black clerical robes and hiding behind a glass window, was also peeping in to watch Esmeralda dance. He was Claude Frollo, the vice-priest and alchemist of Notre Dame de Paris. When he saw the colorful gypsy girl singing and dancing, her brisk steps and exquisite dance suddenly awakened the lust he had buried in his heart for more than ten years. He was unable to control himself, unable to cast away the devil that had captured his soul. In order to get rid of the boredom in his heart, he went to the square to drive away the vendors who were hawking, claiming that they were not allowed to fool around in front of the church. The vendors did not take him seriously and attacked him. At that moment, a man with a strange appearance, tall and strong, rushed out of the church, pushed through the crowd, and rescued the priest. The man's name was Quasimodo. It turned out that he was a deformed child abandoned by his parents in front of Notre Dame, and Frollo raised him out of pity, deafened by the bell ringing he did all day. The revelers were looking for a "Pope of Fools", and Esmeralda spotted Quasimodo, the deaf and ugly bell-tower monster. He was crowned, robed, and whistled, and was paraded through the streets on a high palanquin. Quasimodo was whistling happily when he suddenly saw the grim-faced Frollo standing in front of the palanquin. The priest knocks off his crown and drags him back to Notre Dame.
In the evening, Esmeralda leaves the festive square with her beloved little goat. The curious Gangowar followed. When they reached an alley near the square, Vorono and Gazimodo suddenly leapt out and tried to take Esméharda by force. The young girl cried out for help, Gangowa was too scared to move. At the moment of crisis, Fubis, the head of the royal guards, who was passing by, saved the maiden. Vorono slipped away while the guards were fighting with Gazimodo, who was captured by the guards. From then on, Esmeralda fell in love with Faubis.
In the Kingdom of Words, ruled by the Dynasty of Wonders, the beggar king Crowban is trying the trial of the poor poet Dangoa, who has entered the Kingdom of Wonders by mistake because he doesn't know how to cut. According to the rules of the dynasty, he has only two choices: to be paired with a noose, or to get married to one of the women of the kingdom. But none of the older women want him because they think he is too thin. Thus, Gangua is left to hang. In the nick of time, Esmeralda stepped forward and cried out, "I want him". Thus, the two were married on the spot. The kind-hearted maiden agrees to marry him, but only to save his life by taking him back to her home, where she feeds and lodges him, but does not sleep with him.
Quasimodo, who was guilty of robbing the people of their daughters, was brought to the square for a public flogging after a hasty trial. Kneeling under the scorching sun on behalf of the bell tower monster thirst, he shouted to the soldiers and the crowd of onlookers for water, answered him but a piece of teasing and insults. At this point, the beautiful Esmeralda, who had been a part of the crowd, brought the water to Quasimodo's mouth. Heart full of gratitude, Quasimodo full of tears, could not stop saying: "beauty ...... beauty ...... beauty"
In the square, the poor poet to help Esmeralda staged the little goat The poor poet helps Esmeralda to put on a program for the little goat to recognize words. The goat picks up the name of the sun god, Phobos, in a pile of Latin letters. At this time Phoebus is pandering to the queen and her daughter for favor in the palace next to the square. Princess Lily told Faubus to go to the square and drive Esmeralda away to confirm his love for her. Faubus rides to the square, loudly booms the entertainers who are performing, and whispers to Esmeralda to book a rendezvous to meet at the usual place tonight.
The distraught Frollo, burning with rage and anger when he hears that the Drygoa and the girl are married, turns sad when he learns that they are only married in name. He met the drunken captain of the guards, Faubus, in the street, and heard him say that he was going to meet the girl, and immediately urged him to stop, claiming that the girl was already married, but Faubus retorted, "Why do you confuse love with marriage?" He went straight to the inn, with Frollo following like a shadow.
When Faubus arrived at the small upstairs of the inn, Esmeralda was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him. As they kissed and embraced passionately, Faubus handed the girl the dagger he had strapped to his body, and she threw it out of the window with her hand. It so happened that the dagger landed in front of the eyes of Frollo, who was eavesdropping outside the window. As the lovers embrace again, Frollo picks up the dagger and stabs it through the window into the back of Fubis.
In the courtroom at Esmeralda's trial, the dwarf proprietor of the inn testifies to seeing a black-clad man, smelling of sulfur, who, like the devil, turned silver coins into dried leaves. Frollo, who sat on the judgment seat, said, "It was the devil, not the girl, who stabbed the captain of the guard." Innocent Esmeralda cares only for the life or death of the captain of the guard, for Furbis can prove that she threw the dagger out of the window. But the court told her that the captain of the guard was not only alive, but knew nothing of the murder. He refused to exonerate the girl, much to Esmeralda's dismay. Under torture, the girl confessed that she had used magic to drive the devil in black to assassinate the captain of the guard. The court sentenced the girl to death by hanging, to be carried out the next day.
After Quasimodo rings the bell, he sees Frollo in the tower gazing nervously at the square in front of Notre Dame. Esmeralda, dressed in the white robe of a condemned man, stood under the gallows, hastily erected during the night, the noose around her neck, calmly awaiting the moment of execution. Quasimodo rushed recklessly through the door and snatched the girl into Notre Dame de Paris. The soldiers at the execution were shocked and dumbfounded as they watched the Clock Tower Monster hijack the phalanx all by himself. Because of Notre Dame's right of asylum, the soldiers dared not trespass.
Quasimodo hides the girl in his own housing, where he sleeps like a patron saint at the door. He gives the girl the whistle he got on April Fool's Day and tells her that when she is in distress, she should blow the whistle and he will come to her rescue.
After going to the countryside and running around like a madman, Frollo returns to Notre Dame. He finds that Esmeralda has not only not been executed, but is close by. He follows her into Quasimodo's room, and Esmeralda is furious when she realizes that this man is the man in black who assassinated Faubus. As Frollo is about to rape her, she blows a whistle. Quasimodo arrives at the sound, drives away his former benefactor, and tells the girl that it was his idea to rob her that time.
Quasimodo felt infinite gratitude and pure adoration for Esmeralda. He looks rapturously at the sleeping beauty, and suddenly wakes up the girl horrified by his ugly face. Quasimodo makes haste to escape, and runs to the belfry and bangs his head desperately against the great bell, which chimes low as a sob. Esmeralda came to him, and Quasimodo, covering his face with his hands, murmured, "My face is ugly and always frightens people." To comfort him, the girl dances for him with a cheerful rhythm. Quasimodo, who was so excited, rang the bell of Notre Dame for the girl with the weight of his body as if he were on a swing. His hearty laughter fills the entire bell tower. Quasimodo flew around the bell tower on a rope, picking blooming flowers for Esmeralda. Suddenly the girl spots the captain of the guards in the square, and she calls his name, but he does not look up at her. She asked Quasimodo to go to him, but he ignored the girl's request and galloped away in order to get the princess's rich dowry and his domain in St. Paul. The kind-hearted Quasimodo feels that he has dishonored the girl's mission.
Frollo, who bore a grudge against the girl's unsuccessful forcible occupation, knelt down to the king and asked for advice on how to solve the problem of the right of refuge in Notre Dame. The king consults an old scholar still in prison and finally decides that he can force his way into Notre Dame to capture the witch, despite the right of asylum. Quasimodo closes the doors of the church tightly while Frollo is out.
Hearing that the right of asylum in Notre Dame is coming to an end, Crowban, the King of Beggars, leads thousands of Parisian vagabonds and beggars to attack Notre Dame de Paris and rescue the sisters in great distress. Unknown to Quasimodo how to allow these people rushed into the church, he threw from the roof of the building of huge stones and rocks, pouring hot metal liquid, trying to disperse the crowd. The brave beggar finally broke through the doors and rescued Esmeralda. Unexpectedly, the king's soldiers who were waiting in the back door had already entered the church, raining arrows on Esmeralda and the vagabonds. The beggar king was also killed in the melee. Quasimodo stands on the roof of the building and watches in pain as his beloved girl is hung on the gallows again. When he found Frollo grinning at Esmeralda from the belfry, he lifted the moralizing beast over his head and threw him down.
Esmeralda's body, unwrapped from the gallows, was placed in the great burial grotto of Monfugon, where Quasimodo lay quietly beside her when he found her. Two years later, two corpses were found clasped together. When people tried to separate them, the bones turned to dust.
