There's a village in Spain that is holding out against the Romans (just like Asterix's village in Gaul), and the boy child of the chieftan is taken. By a round-about means he ends up being cared for by Asterix and Obelix who, eventually, have to return him to the village.
The boy is a complete, total, spoiled brat.
There's some interesting spots in the story. For example, the mystery of Stonehenge is explained (it has something to do with a fish seller). In one part of the story there's the stereotyped image of a black person, and there's a series of drawings of a bunch of druids in white carrying some leaves which, in one panel, becomes a drawing of a bunch of druids in KKK-type outfits carrying some leaves. The Spanish themselves are also made fun of in the story.
