Synopsis
From his secret cave hideout at a place called Dragon Rock, Frollo positions his "mountain-smasher" to destroy a town in order to build himself a fortress.
On their way to a small village- some distance from Paris and located in the rugged foothills at the base of a great mountain- Quasimodo, Esmeralda and Francois survive an exciting and humorous attack by several outrageous bandits. However, upon their arrival at the village, they're met with disdain, arrogance and suspicion. The previously dirt-poor villagers now have a patron, a "kindly stranger" who has made his headquarters inside a cave near the mountain's peak, beneath the huge rock carved by Mother Nature herself to resemble a dragon's head.
Curious about what's going on, our friends take it upon themselves to climb to the very top of the mountain; risking their lives, they manage to sneak into the cave to discover that the stranger is none other than- Frollo! His goal is to flatten the top of the mountain, and to use this strategic piece of real estate to build a massive, extravagant fortress. This will allow him to launch an attack that will bring the country to its knees- the first step in his ultimate goal to conquer the world! Quasimodo points out to Frollo that the debris from the demolition of the mountain will destroy the homes of those living in its shadow, as well as the villagers themselves. Frollo couldn't care less. Fighting against impossible odds, Quasimodo nonetheless manages to find a way to cause Frollo's mountain-smasher to backfire and flood the tunnels in Paris where Frollo now lives, forcing him to scurry for new shelter along with the other underground rats.
