London, Wednesday, September 2, 1872, Phileas Fogg, member of the Reform club, boasts that he can travel around the world in a maximum of eighty days in front of his peers. He hires one of the waiters of the club, Passepartout, as a valet to come with him on his adventure. Inspector Fix, Scotland Yard, investigates a robbery of the bank of England. Because of an imprecise description of the robbers, he believes that Phileas is the culprit when he meets Passepartout in Suez. He seduces the border guard with the £10.000 reward that is offered for the capture. The guard arrests the American traveler Archibald, who coincidentally, wants to join the Reform club and is prejudiced against Fogg because he opposed his membership. Archibald provokes a duel but both men come out of it alive. However, Phileas Fogg is almost arrested during the border control when opium is somehow found in his luggage, but he buys his freedom with £5.000 and Archibald follows them to get his membership. As they all travel between Bombay and Calcutta, Princess Aouda's old husband the Rajah dies and the custom wants her burnt to death too. She escapes with the help of Nakahira and they ask for the protection of the guardian of the sacred elephant that they met on the way. Fix offers Passepartout £10.000 to help him arrest his master. Passepartout refuses. Fix then tries to buy the elephant before Fogg does. The Princess is arrested before their eyes and Nakahira is offered her freedom because Aouda promises that she will appear to burn willingly. Fix, Archibald and Passepartout disguise as fakirs to attend the ceremony and rescue the Princess. In Calcutta, when Fix overhears that Fogg will not leave without Passepartout, he drugs the valet while Fogg and Aouda start a romance. Aouda's sister Néméa walks in on them and leaves with them. In the South China sea, they shipwreck on an island where Aouda is attacked by a snake that Fogg charms by playing the flute.
