In the only town in the Roman world that resists Caesar, Obelix falls brutally in love with a beautiful Gallic woman, Falbala. At the moment when, encouraged by Asterix, he offers her flowers, she rushes into the arms of her boyfriend, Tragicomix. In the course of a romantic walk, the couple are stopped by an eager but ignorant decurion, Effrayé, the head of the Roman camp, who sends them to the legion, to the Sahara. After destroying the local Roman camp, Asterix and Obélix, helped by Idéfix, decide to enlist in the legion to rescue them. After the abnormally brief training, they arrive at a Roman camp in the middle of the desert and discover that the prisoners are gone. The bride and groom have been kidnapped by slave traders who send them to Rome with Caius Obtus to present Caesar their offerings to the lions of the Coliseum. Asterix and Obelix will become gladiators to save their lives.
