After Cleopatra enters an ill advised bet with Caesar that her Egyptian builders can construct a grand palace in but three months, her distraught architect goes to the Gauls to seek the Druid Getafix for help. With Asterix and Obelix along, they return to Egypt, where they must overcome intrigue and trickery to win the favour of Cleopatra and help her win her bet.
