The traveling duo leaves London to Paris by boat; Fogg reminds Passepartout that he must meet a certain gentleman in Paris by 4:00 pm. Fix causes many delays ; first by changing the course of the ship, and after arriving in France; they miss their train to Paris. They reach their destination with 10 minutes to spare; but Fix has one more trick up his sleeve. Disguisesing himself as a guide; Fix gives the pair a hasten tour of Paris via the Eifel Tower. When they reach the top to view the city, Fix locks the door leading to the exit leaving them stuck on the Tower. It may seem that they miss their appointment; actucally they made it. Fogg's friend arrives by airship; recusing them from the tower, leaving a befuddled Fix mad.
