Breaking the well-established routine of his daily life, the cool-headed Englishman and his hot-blooded French manservant Passepartout immediately set off for Dover. Whether travelling by train, steamship,   sailing boat, sledge or even elephant, they must   overcome storms, kidnappings, natural disasters, Sioux attacks and Inspector Fix of Scotland Yard - who believes Fogg has robbed the Bank of England - to win this extraordinary wager.
