action
Julius Caesar forges the plan to kidnap the druid Miraculix, who with his magic potion represents the only chance for the survival of the Asterix village. Caesar has Lucullus take him deep into the Atlantic in a ship and then hurl him away with a catapult in order to throw him "over the pane into nowhere". Asterix and Obelix follow the Romans and discover that the earth is not a disk , but that a land still exists.
During their search for Miraculix, they end up with the Indians who hold the druid. After an initial argument, both sides become friends. The further course of action determines the competition between the druid and the Indian shaman, who envy the Gauls his arts. After Miraculix was kidnapped and his friends freed him, the Gauls return to their village. This has since been attacked by the Romans and the Gauls dragged off to the nearest garrison.
Asterix, Obelix and Miraculix find out about the attack from the bard Troubadix, who the Romans left in the village because of his annoying sounds, and free their friends. The story ends with a joyful feast.
