EPISODE:[]
SYNOPSIS:[]
Quasimodo & Salvatore
In Paris, Bruce and Betty are meeting with the Academy of Science, with Betty carrying one of the gold keys that opens an underground gold vault. Quasimodo, the evil great-great-great-great-great-grandson of the original hunchback of Notre Dame, spies on Betty in order to steal the gold and plans on using one of the assembled scientists to turn him into a normal human. As Betty prepares to meet with the Minister of Finance, Bruce is given a vial of a chemical that reverses radiation mutation by one of the other scientists. Betty goes to her meeting but is kidnapped by Quasimodo. Banner follows him and soon turns into the Hulk, losing the vial in the process. Quasimodo and the Hulk battle each other within an underground dungeon while Betty escapes from her prison. The monsters' battle then takes them to the streets of Paris, where Quasimodo eventually leads the Hulk to the Eiffel Tower. The Hulk ultimately ends up in the River Seine and turns back into Banner while Quasimodo escapes. Meanwhile, Betty meets with the Minister of Finance, and they proceed to the secret underground location of the gold vault. Banner, thinking that Betty is still a prisoner and having lost Royale's formula, returns to Quasimodo's dungeon. Quasimodo demands that Banner hand over the potion so that it may turn him into a normal human, and Banner, knowing that he only becomes a monster part of the time, agrees to help. The formula doesn't work instantly, and Quasimodo goes berserk, using his giant bat Salvatore to attack Banner while he goes after the gold. Banner quickly becomes the Hulk and proceeds to stop Quasimodo's plans.
