Queen Cleopatra of Egypt bets against Julius Caesar that her people are still great, even though the time of the Pharaohs is long gone. She promises, against all reason, to build Caesar a new palace in three months. Since all of her architects are either too busy or too traditional, this mixed honor goes to Edifis. If he doesn't build the palace and get covered in gold, crocodiles will eat him. Edifis asks his old friend, the great Druid Getafix from Gaul, for help. Getafix makes a great potion that gives superhuman strength. Asterix and Obelix go with the old Druid to Egypt so that they can help and protect him. When Julius Caesar hears that the project is working, he sends his troops to attack the building site to win the bet and keep his face. But, like the pirates in the area, he hasn't thought about Asterix and Obelix.
