The people of Paris are eagerly anticipating the traditional Jour D'Amour festival--a celebration of love centered on a beautiful, legendary bell known as La Fidele. When this jeweled bell is rung, couples step forth to shout their true love's name. The festival is officially underway with the arrival of Cirque du Sarousch, a traveling circus. But Sarousch, the vain magician who leads the carnival, intends to get rich by stealing La Fidele. To distract Quasimodo, Sarousch sends in his beautiful assistant, Madellaine, to win the bell-ringer's heart. Madellaine however comes to care for Quasimodo and wants no part of stealing the bell but Sarousch uses her anyway to take the bell. To return the stolen bell, Quasimodo must learn to trust Madellaine, and in doing so, Quasimodo discovers true love.
