In which the restless crowd demands swift commencement of a morality play, and the young poet Pierre Gringoire nervously assumes authorship amid the boisterous anticipation and interruptions of a lively Parisian audience. As allegorical figures tread the boards with pomp and a hint of satire, the arrival of the Cardinal de Bourbon looms, promising to punctuate this colourful public spectacle with solemn authority.
