Julius Caesar vows to hand over the Roman Empire to the Gauls if two of its bravest men can complete a series of twelve seemingly impossible tasks. The first few involve beating the fastest Roman runner or throwing a javelin further, which with the help of a little "superpower" potion they do with ease. The tasks get progressively harder, and more absurd, including a government office building that drives people insane with an endless run around. Overall, though, it's episodic with a peculiar French sense of humor that doesn't translate very well.
