In a pre-Watergate examination of Richard Nixon's career and presidency, two present-day pundits debate his merits and convene a tribunal of deceased presidents to judge him. The historical scenes are presented as drawn from the public record, with their words preserved in context.
At the Presidential nominating convention in the summer of 1960 in Philadelphia, Secretary of State William Russell lives by his principles, but is haunted by recent health problems that threaten his career and vote-winning potential. Senator Joe Cantwell presents himself as the people's candidate; his determination to win at all costs is also his great flaw. Cantwell is faced with the revelation of sexual indiscretions, threatening both his marriage and his career. These two frontrunners for their party's presidential nomination fight for the support of the outgoing president and resort to mudslinging in a very public contest.
A Republican senator’s son brings home his Black girlfriend.
