Based on Victor Hugo’s novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is set in a troubled Paris under the harsh
reign of Louis IX, with all the drama converging near the Notre Dame de Paris.
Quasimodo (Lon Chaney) is the hunchbacked bell-ringer of Notre Dame, under the Arch
Deacon Claude Frollo (Nigel De Brulier) and serving his brother Jehan (Brandon
Hurst). Quasimodo is misanthropic due to being shunned and reviled by the local
Parisians, but Quasimodo begins to change after being treated kindly by the
young Gypsy girl Esmeralda (Patsy Ruth Miller), daughter of Clopin (Ernst
Torrence) the leader of the Parisian criminals. Esmeralda has also caught the
eye of Captain Phoebus (Norman Kerry), who is charmed by her dancing. However, Jehan
lusts after Esmeralda also and plans various ways to get Esmeralda for himself.
