A hair-raising journey starts when a wager is made by Phileas Fogg to travel round the globe in just 80 days. And he wins it too, in the nick of time, but not before surmounting impossible odds and circumventing the strangest of situations, while being hindered at each step by a trailing detective who mistakes him for a bank robber on the run!
Phileas Fogg's race against time is also his race towards final happiness, for the phlegmatic Victorian, who is moved at nothing, finally confesses to emotions of love and fulfillment after traversing the whole world.
