action

Esmeralda, the gypsy , is the darling of the people around the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral . In total, three men are interested in her: Phöbus, the commander of the city guard, Quasimodo, the bell ringer of Notre Dame, and Claudius Frollo, the archdeacon of the cathedral . The latter instructs Quasimodo to kidnap Esmeralda, but this fails. When Phöbus meets Esmeralda for a quarrel in an inn, Frollo stabs him in the back with a knife out of jealousy. Instead of Frollo, however, Esmeralda is accused of the crime and charged. The sentence is for execution in the forecourt of the cathedral. Quasimodo can bring the condemned to safety in the bell tower at short notice , but Frollo violates the sanctuary and has Esmeralda carried away for execution. Angry, Quasimodo then plunges Frollo down from the heights of the church. The execution itself can no longer be prevented.
