Plot Summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In this story, a baby boy appears unexplicably at the porch of Asterix's house one morning. While taking care of him - a horrifying task for two single men - Asterix, along with Obelix and Dogmatix, sets out to discover who left the baby there and whose parents it belongs to, following a lead left with the baby's sheets. Curiously, they find that the Romans seem to be very interested in the child, too - and all in the interests of Marcus Junius Brutus, Caesar's adopted son. Marcus Junius Brutus. ...


While in the village, the baby twice drinks a great deal of magic potion, after which he becomes a "terrible little monster" to every door in the neighborhood and every spy sent to capture him. Finally, Brutus takes matters into his own hands, attacking the village with his own legions and burning it to the ground, while he himself goes after the baby. He manages to kidnap him temporarily - with the help of the ever-present pirates - but soon Asterix and Obelix catch up with him and give him a taste of why they are considered the terror of the Romans.
