The story is about the hunchback of Notre Dame, Quasimodo, and a gypsy girl called Esmeralda... oops! The gypsy's actual name is [[AdaptationNameChange Melody]]. The troubles are caused by [[CompositeCharacter Jean Claude]], an arrogant, greedy killjoy who wants to stop Melody because he thinks she diminishes the taxes.
