À Paris, sous le règne de Louis XI, la belle bohémienne Esméralda, qui danse sur le parvis de Notre-Dame, fait tourner la tête de tous les hommes : Claude Frollo, un alchimiste tourmenté ; Quasimodo, un être difforme et bossu que Frollo a fait sonneur de cloches de la cathédrale, ce qui l'a rendu sourd ; Pierre Gringoire, un poète un peu naïf ; et enfin Phœbus, le beau capitaine des archers. Après une courte relation avec ce dernier, elle est touchée par les sentiments délicats de Quasimodo, épris d'elle. Mais les tentatives désespérées du bossu pour la garder auprès de lui les perdront tous les deux. Claude Frollo sera victime de la fatalité qu'il a déclenchée.
