Dick tells a fictionalized account of the Watergate events through the eyes of 2 ditzy 15-year-old girls, Arlene (Michelle Williams) & Betsy (Kirsten Dunst). Arlene lives in the Watergate Apartments. One night while sneaking out to mail a letter to the Bobby Sherman Fan Club, the duo runs into G. Gordon Liddy (Harry Shearer, Godzilla, numerous voices on The Simpsons) during the infamous break-in. Later they also run into him on a tour of the White House. He recognizes the girls, & they are ushered into the West Wing to find out what they know. There they meet Tricky Dick (Dan Hedaya, The Usual Suspects). He clues into their vapidity & makes them official presidential dog walkers. Of course, this only gives them more access to the White House & allows them to witness more illegal acts such as the shredding of documents & the taping of incriminating conversations. They meet other White House staffers such as Henry Kissinger (Saul Rubinek, True Romance, Oliver Stone's Nixon), John Dean (TV's Saturday Night Live), & Bob Haldeman (Dave Foley, A Bug's Life (voice).Soon (but far slower than, say, a well-trained chimpanzee) the girls realize that Nixon is involved in the illegal activities they are hearing about on TV.

As a prank, they call Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein who take the prank call seriously, and soon meet with the girls. You guessed it…Betsy and Arlene become their anonymous source, Deep Throat, and become responsible for the downfall of the president.
