Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Paris, risks everything to save Esmeralda.
In 15th-century Paris, Quasimodo lives hidden in the towers of Notre Dame, ringing its bells. When the gypsy Esmeralda is the only one who shows him kindness, the bell-ringer is ready to give his life for her, while power struggles and an angry mob put her in danger. Lon Chaney created one of the most moving characters of the silent era.
