Paris, 1482. Today is the festival of the fools, taking place like each year in the square outside Cathedral Notre Dame. Among jugglers and other entertainers, Esmeralda, a sensuous gypsy, performs a bewitching dance in front of delighted spectators. From up in a tower of the cathedral, Frollo, an alchemist, gazes at her lustfully. Later in the night, Frollo orders Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer and his faithful servant, to kidnap Esmeralda. But when the ugly freak comes close to her is touched by the young woman's beauty...

Movie Trivia:
- The goat, co-female star of the film with Gina Lollobrigida, was insured for two million francs.
-
Shot simultaneously in French and English-speaking version, but it looks as if the English one was not used.
-
Contrary to the others films she did in France before this one and where she was dubbed (by Claire Guibert), this was the first time Gina Lollobrigida spoke her lines in French (with a strong Italian accent).
-
Anthony Quinn was not dubbed in the french version either, a very uncommon practice for foreign actors at that time.
