PLOT SUMMARY
In the town of El Paris, the ugly, hunchbacked child Quasimodo is abandoned
by his parents and placed in the care of the town's fundamentalist arch-deacon,
Frollo, and his place in the family is taken by a young Cuban girl,
Esméralda. Twenty years later, El Paris is being stalked by a
serial killer who has already claimed 18 victims and the finger of suspicion
points at Quasimodo.
