Mysterious events take place at the Paris Opera House: money goes missing, a singer disappears, stage sets collapse, and people die. Rumor has it that it is all the work of a mysterious Phantom... The sudden death of the prima donna Carlotta gives a chance for success to the young and talented understudy and chorus girl, Christine Daaé.
