"He sold his soul for rock n’roll!"
The young composer Winslow Leach has written a rock musical based on the legend of Faust. He presents his work to record magnate Swan, who immediately notices that he has a genius composition in his hands. He wants to use the work at the opening of his new rock palace The Paradise and decides to betray Leach and steal his work. In an attempt to stop Swan, Leach is horribly disfigured. He takes refuge in the catacombs of The Paradise and devises a plan to exact revenge on Swan. Leach becomes the "Phantom of the Paradise".
