An absent night arrival at Notre Dame is followed by a sorcerer ex amination where a peasant, accused of stealing fish, is cleared when the diviner identifies a broken window as the entry. A country boy confession proves false, leading to Aymar's expulsion by the Prince. The tale reveals a seven year old theft connected to the keeper.

A towering male gorilla confronts the party, beating his chest and emitting a thunderous roar as fearsome eyes glare, while natives recount tales of men transforming into gorillas and abducting people.
