Daar is groot fout met Obelix! Hy eet net twee wildevarke op 'n
keer en dwaal rusteloos rond. Die druide sien 'n nuweling in die
Galliese dorpie en sit dadelik twee en twee bymekaar. Die
beeldskone Tierlantyn het kom kuier – en Obelix is dolverlief.
Ongelukkig is Tierlantyn reeds verloof, en baie hartseer, want haar
verloofde, Melodramatix, het as legioensoldaat in Afrika soek
geraak. Natuurlik bied ons helde, gebroke hart maar dapper gemoed,
die tog na Afrika aan om haar geliefde te red.
