AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS

THE STORY BEGINS IN LONDON ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1872.

PHILEAS FOGG IS A RICH BRITISH GENTLEMAN LIVING A SOLITARY LIFE.

DESPITE HIS WEALTH, FOGG LIVES A MODEST LIFE WITH HABITS CARRIED
OUT WITH MATHEMATICAL PRECISION. VERY LITTLE CAN BE SAYED ABOUT
YOUR SOCIAL LIFE THAT YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER OF THE REFORM CLUB,
WHERE YOU SPEND THE BEST PART OF YOUR DAYS. HAVING FIRE HIS FORMER
VALET, JAMES FORSTER, FOR BRINGING HIM SHAVING WATER AT 84 ° F
INSTEAD OF 86 ° F, FOGG HIRES FRENCH JEAN PASSEPARTOUT AS A
REPLACEMENT.

IN THE REFORM CLUB, FOGG IS INVOLVED IN AN ARGUMENT ABOUT A DAILY

TELEGRAPH ARTICLE THAT SAYS THAT WITH THE OPENING OF A NEW
RAILROAD SECTION IN INDIA, IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO TRAVEL THE WORLD
IN 80 DAYS. YOU ACCEPT A BET OF £ 20,000, HALF YOUR TOTAL FORTUNE,
FROM YOUR FELLOW CLUB MEMBERS TO COMPLETE SUCH JOURNEY WITHIN
THIS TIME PERIOD. WITH PASSEPARTOUT ACCOMPANYING YOU, FOGG
DEPART FROM LONDON BY TRAIN AT 8:45 P.M. ON OCTOBER 2; TO WIN THE
BET, YOU MUST RETURN TO THE CLUB AT THIS SAME TIME ON DECEMBER 21,
80 DAYS LATER. THEY TAKE THE REMAINING £ 20,000 OF FOGG'S FORTUNE
WITH THEM TO COVER THE EXPENSES DURING THE TRIP.

FOGG AND PASSEPARTOUT ARRIVE IN SUEZ ON TIME. WHILE LANDING IN

EGYPT, THEY ARE OBSERVED BY A SCOTLAND YARD POLICE, DETECTIVE FIX,
WHO HAS BEEN SENT FROM LONDON IN SEARCH OF A BANK THIEF. SINCE
FOGG ADAPTS TO THE VAGUE DESCRIPTION THAT SCOTLAND YARD WAS
GIVEN FROM THE THIEF, DETECTIVE FIX ERRORS FOGG FOR THE CRIMINAL.
SINCE I CANNOT ASSURE A WARRANTY ON TIME, I FIX THE TABLES OF THE
STEAMER THAT TRANSPORTS THE TRAVELERS TO BOMBAY. FIX MEETS
PASSEPARTOUT WITHOUT DISCLOSING ITS PURPOSE. SINCE SHE IS
DRUGGED WITH OPIUM AND HEMP AND OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING
VOLUNTARILY, THE TRAVELERS DECIDE TO RESCUE HER. THEY FOLLOW THE
PROCESSION TO THE PLACE, WHERE PASSEPARTOUT OCCURS THE PLACE OF
THE DECEASED HUSBAND OF AOUDA AT THE PIRRE FUNERAL. DURING THE
CEREMONY THE PYRE RISES UP, SCARING THE PRIESTS AND TAKES AOUDA.
THE TWELVE HOURS EARNED

THEY ARE LOST BEFORE, BUT FOGG DOES NOT SHOW REPENTANCE.
THE TRAVELERS RUSH TO CATCH THE TRAIN AT THE NEXT RAILWAY
STATION, TAKING AOUDA WITH THEM. IN CALCUTTA, THEY WILL STEAM FOR
HONG KONG, WITH A ONE-DAY CALL IN SINGAPORE. FIX HAS ARRESTED
FOGG AND PASSEPARTOUT. JUMP DANCE AND FIXING FOLLOWS THEM TO
HONG KONG. IT IS SHOWN TO PASSEPARTOUT, WHICH IS DELIGHTED TO
MEET HIS TRAVELING PARTNER FROM THE OLD TRIP.

IN HONG KONG, IT TURNED OUT THAT AOUDA'S FAMILY MEMBER, IN WHOSE

CARE HE WAS PLANNED TO LEAVE HER, HAS MOVED TO THE NETHERLANDS,
SO THEY DECIDE TO TAKE HER WITH THEM TO EUROPE. STILL WITHOUT A
WARRANTY, FIX CONSIDERS HONG KONG AS THEIR LAST CHANCE TO ARREST
FOGG ON BRITISH SOIL. PASSEPARTOUT AGREES THAT FIX IS A CLUB
REFORM SPY. FIX TRUST PASSEPARTOUT, WHO DOES NOT CREATE A WORD
AND REMAINS CONVINCED THAT ITS MASTER IS NOT A BANK THIEF. TO
PREVENT PASSEPARTOUT FROM INFORMING HIS MASTER OF THE PREMATURE
DEPARTURE OF HIS NEXT VESSEL, THE CARNATIC, FIX GETS CLUTCHED FROM
PASSEPARTOUT AND DRUGS IT INTO AN OPIUM DEN. PASSEPARTOUT STILL
GETS THE STEAMER TO YOKOHAMA BUT CANNOT INFORM FOGG THAT THE
STEAMER IS RUNNING THE NIGHT BEFORE THE SCHEDULED DEPARTURE
DATE.

FOGG DISCOVERIES THAT HIS CONNECTION WAS MISSING. FIX PROMISES

PASSEPARTOUT THAT NOW, HAVING LEFT THE BRITISH SOIL, FIX WILL NO
LONGER ATTEMPT TO DELAY FOGG'S JOURNEY, BUT INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING
HIM TO RETURN TO GREAT BRITAIN SO THAT HE CAN ARREST FOGG IN
GREAT BRITAIN.

IN SAN FRANCISCO THEY BOARD A TRANSCONTINENTAL TRAIN TO NEW

YORK, ENCOUNTERING A NUMBER OF OBSTACLES IN THE ROAD: A MASSIVE
HERD OF BISON CROSSING THE RAILS, A FAILED SUSPENSION BRIDGE, AND
THE TRAIN IS ATTACKED BY SIOUX WARRIORS. AFTER DISCONNECTING THE
LOCOMOTIVE FROM THE CARS, PASSEPARTOUT IS KIDNAPPED BY THE
INDIANS BUT FOGG RESCUES HIM AFTER VOLUNTEER AMERICAN SOLDIERS
TO HELP HIM. THEY FOLLOW ON A WIND SLED TO OMAHA, WHERE THEY TAKE
A TRAIN TO NEW YORK.

IN NEW YORK, HAVING LOST THE SHIP CHINA, FOGG IS SEEKING

ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. FIND A STEAM SHIP, THE HENRIETTA,
DESTINATION TO BORDEAUX, FRANCE. THE BOAT CAPTAIN REFUSES TO TAKE
THE COMPANY TO LIVERPOOL, SO FOGG AGREES TO BE TAKEN TO BORDEAUX
FOR $ 2,000 PER PASSENGER. Then he bribes the crew to MUTINY AND TAKE A
COURSE FOR LIVERPOOL. AGAINST HURRICANE WINDS AND IN FULL STEAM,
THE BOAT RUNS OUT OF FUEL AFTER A FEW DAYS. FOGG PURCHASES THE
BOAT FROM THE CAPTAIN AND MAKES THE TEAM BURN ALL THE WOOD
PIECES TO KEEP THE VAPOR.

THE COMPANIONS ARRIVE IN QUEENSTOWN, IRELAND, TAKE THE TRAIN TO

DUBLIN AND THEN A FERRY TO LIVERPOOL, STILL IN TIME TO REACH
LONDON BEFORE THE DEADLINE. ONCE ON ENGLISH SOIL, FIX PRODUCES A
WARRANTY AND DRAGS FOGG. A LITTLE TIME LATER, THE
MISUNDERSTANDING IS AGREED UP: THE REAL THIEF, AN INDIVIDUAL
CALLED JAMES STRAND, HAS BEEN ARRESTED THREE DAYS BEFORE IN EDIMB
URGO. HOWEVER, FOGG HAS MISSED THE TRAIN AND ARRIVES IN LONDON
FIVE MINUTES LATE, HAS CERTAINLY LOST THE BET.

THE FOLLOWING DAY, FOGG APOLOGIES TO AOUDA FOR TAKING HER WITH
HIM, SINCE NOW HE HAS TO LIVE IN POVERTY AND CANNOT SUPPORT HER.
AOUDA confesses that he loves him and asks him to marry her. AS PASSEPARTOUT
NOTIFIES A MINISTER, YOU LEARN THAT THE DATE IS WRONG - IT IS NOT
DECEMBER 22, BUT DECEMBER 21.
