A young woman in labour makes her way to a parish workhouse and dies after giving birth to a boy, who is systematically named Oliver Twist by the workhouse authorities. As the years go by, Oliver and the rest of the child inmates suffer from the callous indifference of the officials in charge: beadle Mr. Bumble and matron Mrs. Corney.
In 1872, an English gentleman Phileas Fogg claims he can circumnavigate the world in eighty days. He makes a £20,000 wager with four skeptical fellow members of the Reform Club that he can arrive back eighty days from exactly 8:45 pm that evening. Together with his resourceful valet, Passepartout, they set out on the journey from Paris by a gas balloon.
In Cornwall, 1819, a young orphan, Mary, is sent to live with Aunt Patience and Uncle Joss who are landlords of the Jamaica Inn. Mary soon realises her uncle’s inn serves as the base for a gang of ship wreckers – who lure ships to their doom on the rocky coast, and Mary begins to fear for her life.
