Description: As Esmeralda in this silent version of Hugo's classic, she's taken into the dungeon and laid on a table, then bound with a leather strap around her midsection and arms, which is hung from a chain as the vise-like boot is clamped around her left foot. She is briefly tortured while partly suspended horizontally before confessing. Later, she is carted through the streets of Paris on her way to the scaffold with her hands tied behind her to the slats of the tumbrel, which stops in front of Notre Dame so she can kneel in penance before being hanged. This is when Quasimodo (Lon Chaney) shimmies down a rope from above and carries her over his shoulder up a couple of flights of stairs to sanctuary.
