In Rome, the geographer Cartographus informs Julius Caesar of the reported existence of the griffin, a beast that is half-eagle and half-lion with horse's ears, located in Sarmatian territory in the remote eastern lands of Barbaricum. The Romans have captured a Sarmatian Amazon woman, Kalashnikova, who cautions against attempting to capture the griffin. Her warning is deliberately misinterpreted by Cartographus and goes unheeded. Caesar deploys an expedition of Roman soldiers to locate and capture the griffin, which he intends to display at the circus in Rome in an effort to boost his popularity.

Later, the Gaulish druid Getafix, accompanied by Asterix, Obelix and Dogmatix, arrives in the snow-covered land of Sarmatia to visit his old friend, a shaman named Fanciacuppov. The Gauls have brought with them a small keg of Getafix's magic potion, which imbues those who drink it with superhuman strength. Fanciacuppov tells the Gauls he had a vision that the Romans would invade to capture the griffin, which is his people's sacred animal, so he appeared to Getafix in a dream to request help. The Sarmatian village is a matriarchal society, in which the women are nomadic warriors, while the men stay at home to look after the children. The Sarmatian women announce the arrival of the Romans, who still have Kalashnikova as their hostage and reluctant guide. The Gauls cannot share their magic potion among the Sarmatians to defeat the Romans because the potion has frozen, rendering it useless. Fanciacuppov agrees to lead the Romans to the griffin in exchange for the release of Kalashnikova, his niece, although she continues to be held captive by the Romans. Asterix, Obelix and the Sarmatian women then follow the Romans, who are eventually led to a frozen lake, beneath which is an enormous, frozen dinosaur-like creature, which looks nothing like artistic depictions of the griffin. The Gauls return to the Sarmatian village and then to their own village. Back in Rome, Caesar orders a giraffe be displayed, as there is no news of his expeditionary force.
