Getafix is later ambushed by the Romans while he is out collecting mistletoe, but refuses to divulge any of the secrets of the magic potion to Phonus. Minus is debriefed by Phonus Balonus, who on learning of the magic potion orders his legionaries to capture Getafix and bring him back to the camp. Still empowered by the magic potion, Minus makes good his escape, with the Gauls powerless to stop him. Before he has a chance to steal some of the potion to take back to the Roman camp, Minus' cover is accidentally blown during a traditional dance Asterix pulls off Minus' moustache. Once inside the Gaulish village, Minus goads Asterix into sharing the secret of the magic potion with him he goes on to use the same tactic against Getafix in order to try the potion for himself. Sure enough, Asterix and Obelix free Minus and believe his flimsy cover story that he is a Gaul from Lutetia.

He is dressed in a wig, false moustache and traditional Gaulish dress and led in chains through the forest as a prisoner, awaiting rescue by the Gauls. Phonus selects a volunteer (by means of a single round of musical chairs) to pose as a Gaul in order to infiltrate the village the unlucky loser is a short, slack-tongued misfit named Caligula Minus.

Their state upon their return to camp prompts the leader Phonus Balonus to seek the secret behind the Gauls' superhuman strength. Despite being significantly outnumbered, Asterix leaves the Romans beaten and bruised. After a brief introduction to the principal characters, the film follows Asterix as he is ambushed by a group of Roman legionaries in the forest.
