At the start of the film, we see a Chinese man who was escaping from London's police. Because he has stolen some precious things from the bank of London. The London police were still behind the man so he uses a tree while escaping from them, he climbs up the tree and hides there. From the tree, the Chinese see a scientist. He was fixing his servant for his experiment test. Actually, this machine was a car. It can travel at the speed of 50 miles per hour. The time that is told in the movie is 1890, it is a high-speed car at this time. The servant of the scientist refuses to do this experiment. He says I love my life. I don't want to lose it. Saying this, he leaves from there. The scientist loses hope because there is none to support him and the Chinese man was seeing all this. Here the Chinese man thinks the police are already behind me, why don't I help him? With this, I will be saved from the police and I will also help him. Thinking this, he goes to the scientist. The scientist also appoints him. Now the scientist starts his experiment, he gives a helmet to the Chinese man and makes him sit in the engine car. The experiment of the scientist was getting successful. The car was moving now he asks the Chinese man to accelerate the speed. But the Chinese man couldn't control it and due to the high speed, the car breaks from behind. The scientist hits a tower. It means he collapses with a tower badly. Here the scientist was happy because his experiment was successful. But the Chinese apologize for this work. He also cares for his life and he says I will not do this work.

The Chinese man has no other way to go to him. The Chinese man again accepts the job. He goes to the scientist to his home. It was a good place to escape from the police. Now they were together at the scientist's house, When the Chinese man asks the name of the scientists he tells his fake name. He says my name is Passportout. It seems strange to the scientist but he doesn't say anything. While talking to the Chinese man the scientist tells him about his experiments and future. He says I want to make a plan that can fly. The Chinese man was impressed by the scientist. Now we see the Chinese man was writing a letter to his father. While writing the letter we also come to know about the things he stole from the bank. Actually, it was a Laughing Buddha Statue and it was very expensive. This statue was stolen from his village. Due to it, there were problems in their village. He writes in the letter I will soon come to the village with the statue. So the village will become as it was before. Now the scene changes in the movie, we see the head of the Royal Science Academy, Lord Kelvin. He was interested in the statue that was stolen by the Chinese man. Here we also meet a Chinese lady and she was the head of a gangster's group. She was a dangerous lady. Coming to London, the statue was placed in the bank with the help of Lord Kelvin. So she can sell the statue and earns money from it. Because the statue was stolen so the lady was aggressive with Lord Kelvin. She wants the statue again. So she can again give it to Lord Kelvin and can earn money from it. She warns Lord Kelvin this time if it will be lost you will not be spared. It means you will be killed. In the next scene, we see the scientist and the Chinese man come to the Royal science academy. He tells the scientists that my experiment is successful. He tells them I have made a vehicle that can move 50 miles per hour. Here Lord Kelvin who is the head of the Royal Science Academy, he laughs at him and he says we neither need this kind of experiment nor the public need it. Lord Kelvin makes fun of the scientist. Their argument continues. Meanwhile, Lord Kelvin and the scientist talk about the world tour. On it, the scientist says now the world tour is possible in 80 days. While laughing Lord Kelvin says impossible. On it, they both bet. That the scientist will come here again after the world tour in 80 days. If he will not return he can't do any invention further in his life. While getting agree with Lord Kelvin the scientist also presents his condition, he says if you will lose this bet then you have to leave this academy. On winning, I will be the next minister here. Now we see the scientist at his house, he was worried that how will he do this? On it, the Chinese man encourages him. The Chinese man says to him we can make it possible. Here the Chinese man was seeing his benefit. He wants to go to his village through the scientist. He agrees on it and then we see they start their journey. Meanwhile, a police officer comes here. He says your motor car is not able to move on the roads. Here the truth of the police officer is something else. Actually, he is a corrupt police officer and he comes here on the saying of Lord Kelvin. Because there is a fear in Lord Kelvin's heart maybe he will win the bet. That's why he is bringing troubles in the scientist's way. In the next scene of the movie, we see the scientist and the Chinese together they were about to start their journey to Germany. Here they come to know that they will be late for this. The Chinese man sees many Chinese with him. He suspects that maybe those men are with him. they want to take the statue from him. That's why he goes from there into an art gallery with the scientist. It was near them. Here the scientist meets with a beautiful and nice painter. He likes just one painting of the painter. He likes the painting just because a man was flying in it with the wings. The scientist also wants this to make a plane in which the human can fly. During this, many Chinese men whom we saw in front of the Art gallery. They reach there while searching for the Chinese man. Here the Chinese man was lucky because he knows martial arts. He escapes from all of them from there. The ower of the art gallery throws out the painter while saying, your paintings are useless. On it, her heartbreaks. She requests the scientist can you take me with you to Germany? Here they think to travel through the hot air balloon towards Germany. Unfortunately, here again, the men of the gangster come there. They were catching Passportout. Passportout again succeeds here and continues his journey with the scientist. Here Passportout again lies when the scientist asks he says these are the men of my village and we met after years, that's why they don't want me to go from here. The scientist accepts it. But the girl recognizes his lie. After it, we see them on a train. The scientist feels that the speed of the train is slow. We will reach there late. That's why while moving to the driver of the train he says to increase the speed. The painter says to Passportout that I know neither your name is Passportout nor those people belong to your village. She says to tell her the whole story. Otherwise, I will tell the scientist. On it, Passportout takes out his statue. And he also tells everything about the gangster. Here the lady again warns the man and says now I know your truth. I can also tell this to the scientist. But there is a condition then I will not tell all this to him. The Chinese man agrees with her condition. It was that she wants to continue the journey with him. He will not leave her in Germany. Because now the girl likes the scientist. After it, Passportout talks to the scientist. The scientist accepts whatever he says. Here we see they were on the journey of Turkey, meanwhile, the police officer again comes there. As he was about to put handcuffs in Passportout's hands he throws him down from the window. Like this, he falls out of the train. Reaching Turkey, the king invites them to his palace. The scientist doesn't want to go there. But the others take him there. Going there, he sees the music was playing. There was a beautiful statue. Here the king was singing. The king invites them on a feast, during this feast, the king likes the painter. When the king was admiring the painter the scientist also speaks, that she looks beautiful when she was painting. Here the girl feels the scientist also likes her. Seeing her, he smiles. When they return from there the King stops the painter and says now I will marry her.

Because it is necessary for you to complete this journey. Otherwise, you will not be able to do any invention. On it, the scientist says now nothing is more important than you near me. They finished the lady and her companions together. Now, at last, they were in a ship, it was moving towards London. But the scientist calculates and he comes to know this ship will reach London timely. Unfortunately, the fuel of the ship was also finished from which the ship was sailing.
