Answer: Peter Lorre

Yes, indeed, Peter Lorre plays a small part in this film, as a steward aboard the steamship, Carnatic. The steward asks Passepartout, "honorable gentleman feeling better this morning?" Passepartout has no idea where he is, but realizes that he has been duped. Sadly, the inimitable Peter Lorre passed away in 1964.
2. Distraught and penniless, Passepartout finds work, in order to feed himself. What sort of work does he engage in?

Answer: He joins a circus.

Being an accomplished acrobat, Passepartout joins a circus as an acrobat. However, Fogg, quite cleverly deduces the whereabouts of Passepartout. The party is reunited and they head for their next destination.
3. Fogg and his party are spending some time in a saloon. Who happens to play the piano player in this saloon?

Answer: Frank Sinatra

In a surprising cameo appearance, Frank Sinatra appears in this film as the piano player, in San Francisco saloon. It's arguable as to whether Sinatra was more famous as an actor or singer. Nevertheless, his appearance in this film, helped make this film a classic.
4. Colonel Tim McCoy is a colorful character. The train stops again, since the bridge appears unable to bear the weight of the train. Colonel McCoy says, "Hang me for the son of a sheep stealin' tarantula." What does the Colonel give the engineer to encourage him to proceed?

Answer: a shot of 40-rod

Colonel McCoy (portrayed by Tim McCoy) encourages the train engineer to proceed over the bridge, by enhancing his spirits with liquor. Sufficiently, encouraged, the engineer traverses the bridge, after which, it collapses.
5. Colonel McCoy badgers Mr. Fogg into a confrontation. "I'll be a rattlesnake's uncle. Why don't you fight fair?" Mr. Fogg has had enough and they agree to have a duel. They agree to fire at will, after six paces. However, they are interrupted by what event?

Answer: an Indian attack

As Fogg and McCoy take their six paces, turn to each other, ready to fire, an arrow strikes McCoy. Indians attack the train and capture Passepartout. Fogg is slightly detained from his schedule, while he successfully rescues Passepartout.
6. More evidence has been uncovered implicating Mr. Fogg in the bank robbery. An official from Scotland Yard, suggests that Fogg is fleeing to a country, without extradition treaties. Where does the official submit that Fogg is going?

Answer: Venezuela

The man from Scotland Yard, intimates that Fogg is bound for South America. Specifically, Caracas, Venezuela. The other members of the club are dismayed and reluctant to believe the accusations. Since, England has no extradition agreement with Venezuela, the officer declares that, "Mr. Fogg had bolted."
7. Mr. Fogg appropriates a ship, in order to continue his journey. What is the name of this ship?

Answer: Henrietta

Mr. Fogg, purchases the Henrietta from the captain of the ship. They sacrifice all available burnable materials, in order to make their destination on time. Having purchased the boat, Mr. Fogg issues an order to pile everything that will burn into the stoke hole. That being accomplished, they successfully achieve their destination.
8. Mr. Fogg successfully arrives in England, ahead of schedule. However, something unfortunate happens that sets him back considerably. What happens?

Answer: He is arrested by Mr. Fix.

A bulldog of persistence, Mr. Fix captures Fogg at the train station, and arrests him on the charge of purloining the sum of 55,000 pounds from the Bank of England. Fogg is placed in jail and the delay apparently has cost him the wager.
9. Why is Fogg released from jail?

Answer: The real culprit has been apprehended in Brighton.

Mr. Fix visits Fogg in jail. Mr. Fix apologizes profusely for his egregious error. He goes on to say that he has always considered Mr. Fogg to be a perfect gentleman. Mr. Fogg is not assuaged by the words of Mr. Fix. He is perturbed, but ever being the gentleman, Mr. Fogg chastises Mr. Fix, by saying that he has never enjoyed Mr. Fix's company and that Mr. Fix plays an abominable game of Whist.
10. Despite the many obstacles and delays, does Mr. Fogg, in fact, win his wager?

Answer: Yes

Mr. Fogg and Princess Aouda profess their love for each other. Fogg orders Passepartout to summon a preacher, so that a wedding can take place. On the way to the preacher, Passepartout notices that a newspaper vendor is selling Saturday newspapers. With the realization that crossing the International Date Line has gained the party an extra day, Fogg arrives at his club, with some fifteen seconds to spare, to win the wager.
