Tired of being constantly made a laughing stock by that damned unconquerable little village in Gaul, César organises a competition consisting of twelve tests which only a god could succeed in.   Astérix and Obélix enter the competition expecting to win with the help of their famous magic potion.  Will the Emperor César have the last laugh or will he be humiliated yet again by his indomitable Gaul adversaries...?
