Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

The Iberians are holding out against the Romans, like Asterix's village. So the Romans kidnap Chief Huevos Y Bacon's son, Pepe. The Romans are taking him to a garrison in Gaul. Luckily, Asterix and Obelix beat up the Romans and take Pepe to their village. Obelix is assigned to take care of Pepe, but he's too annoying, so they let Cacofonix take care of him. Pepe likes Cacofonix' singing, but the others obviously don't, so they try to bring him back home. Asterix and Obelix meet a group of nomads, but little do Asterix and Obelix know that a Roman legionary in disguise is following them to take Pepe. The legionary (Spurius Brontosaurus) takes Asterix, Obelix and Pepe to a repair station. Brontosaurus goes inside and tells the man not to give them a spare cartwheel, but the man really doesn't have a cartwheel. Brontosaurus sees Asterix and Obelix beat up some bandits so he plans to steal the magic potion. That night, when they are asleep, Brontosaurus steals the magic potion and he runs into a group of Roman legionaries. Asterix runs after him. The legionaries take Asterix and Brontosaurus to the commander-in-chief's office. The c-in-c drinks the potion and throws Asterix and Brontosaurus in the dungeon. They are sent to the circus of Hispalis. They don't have lions, but they have aurochs. A woman drops her red cloak, so Asterix gets it. The aurochs keeps on charging at him, so he gets the cloak out of the aurochs's way, so it won't get dirty. (Bullfighting) He gives the cloak back to the woman. Asterix goes to Pepe's village, which is being besieged by Romans. (Obelix is already there.) Obelix crashes through the Romans to hug Asterix, because he was worried. They say goodbye to Pepe, and go back to Gaul. The story ends with the usual banquet.
