On the next leg of the journey in AroundTheWorldIn80Days, Abigail 'Fix' Fortescue lives up to her name as her companions face peril
If you missed the, allow us to refresh your memory. Foolhardy British gentleman and Reform Club patron Phileas Fogg has embarked upon a journey around the world in eighty days after entering a wager with a dastardly patron, Nyle Bellamy .
Meanwhile, Passepartout and Fogg travel through the desert in the scorching midday heat. When they disembark their camels for a bathroom break, their cunning guide abandons them, stealing Fogg’s valuables in the process. Now alone and growing dehydrated, Fogg valiantly declares that he’ll lead them to an oasis.Elsewhere, Fix sets off with Digby and her husband in pursuit of Fogg and Passepartout. They soon find camel tracks, but Digby’s husband deduces that they’ve been deserted.
Digby asks Fix if she would tell her children the truth about why she ran away when the party return to London. Fix promises to keep her word, and sends a telegram to London with the message that Digby is a marvel and her father is a liar. Meanwhile, Passepartout meets with Bellamy’s associate, Thomas Kneedling who tells him that he has a friend in London who is very keen that Fogg doesn’t make it to back to London on Christmas eve.
Fogg, now fully under the influence of the drugs, punches Passepartout and runs off. Passepartout and Fix find Fogg deliriously talking to a cow, and plead with the groom’s fiancé to fetch her mother. By the time the groom’s mother arrives at Fogg’s room, he’s started to have convulsions. Passepartout confesses to her that he took a bribe to slow Fogg down on his journey, and after evaluating the drugs, she tells him that they’ll be lucky if Fogg ever wakes up.
