Phineas's part finally arrived in Hong Kong, but the bank can't pay him his money as a document hasn't arrived from London, bugging the staff doesn't help as Kneedling, who found Passepartout failed to sabotage properly, had convinced the bank to withhold Fogg's money, posing as a police detective. Meanwhile governor Sir Henry Rowbotham's bossy wife Clemency forces him to host a garden party in honor of the now famous explorer, who gets a personal loan. Passepartout meanwhile visited local criminal acquaintance Jiang Liei, who promises him the needed funds if he steals a priceless white jade artifact from the governor's wife, which he does at the party but gets caught out. Fogg risks a flogging to make him talk.
