Fogg leaves London • Fogg leaves London, with his servant Passepartout, at 8.45 pm on October 2. • They will have to return at the same time on December 21. • After seven days, they reach Suez, where they meet a man called Fix. • Fix is a policeman who thinks that Fogg is the criminal he is looking for.

  4. Anew person goes with them • The three men travel to Bombay by ship, then to Calcutta by train. • Unfortunately, the railway line isn’t finished and they need to travel part of the way by elephant. • On their journey, they save a young woman from death. • She is called Aouda and she goes with them on their journey.

  5. Passepartout was kidnapped • From Calcutta, they travel by ship to Hong Kong, then across the Pacific to San Francisco. • In San Francisco, Fogg, Passepartout, Fix and Aouda catch the train to New York, but during this journey Passepartout is kidnapped.

  6. Passepartout was rescued • Fogg rescues his servant, but they get to New York late and miss their boat to Liverpool. • After fuel problems, the next boat finally reaches Britain.

  7. Fix arrested Fogg • As soon as they arrive, Fix arrests Fogg. • He quickly realises that Fogg isn’t the real criminal, but by now they have missed their train to London, lost a day and so lost the money.

  8. They won the money • However, Passepartout discovers that it is December 20 , not December 21. • Because they had travelled east, they had crossed the International Date Line and saved a day! • Fogg and Passepartout hurry to the club and arrive in time to win the 20,000$
