Betsy Jobs and Arlene Lorenzo are introduced as two teenage girls navigating life in Washington D.C. during the early 1970s. Betsy comes from a wealthy family in Georgetown, while Arlene lives modestly with her widowed mother in the infamous Watergate building.

One evening, the girls decide to sneak out of Arlene's home to mail a letter for a contest to win a date with Bobby Sherman. Unbeknownst to them, this coincides with the Watergate break-in, setting off a chain of unexpected events.

As they attempt to leave, Betsy and Arlene unintentionally stumble upon the break-in. They mistakenly confront G. Gordon Liddy, thinking he is involved in a jewel heist, which causes them to panic and flee.

In their rush to escape, the girls catch the attention of a nearby security guard who calls the police. This leads to the swift arrest of the actual burglars, dramatically altering the course of events without their knowledge.

The next day, while on a school tour of the White House, Betsy and Arlene have another encounter with G. Gordon Liddy. Although they don't recognize him, he is suspicious of the girls and points them out to H. R. Haldeman.

During their awkward interaction, President Nixon himself makes an appearance. He expresses his frustrations about the scandal, while Betsy and Arlene are more fascinated with his dog, inadvertently gaining access to the White House.

To keep the girls silent about what they witnessed, Nixon appoints them as his official dog walkers. This position allows Betsy and Arlene to visit the White House frequently, influencing significant political events without even realizing it.

During their visits as dog walkers, the girls unknowingly sway political outcomes during venues like the Vietnam negotiations. They bring cookies infused with marijuana, leading to unexpected consequences, including Nixon's growing paranoia.

Arlene develops a crush on Nixon, leading her to record a message of admiration for him. However, her infatuation is shattered when she hears a clip of Nixon's crude language, prompting a confrontation with him.

When Arlene confronts Nixon directly about his behavior, he reacts angrily, dismissing the girls with threats. This moment demonstrates the power dynamics they find themselves caught in as teenagers amidst political scandal.

Reevaluating their position, Betsy and Arlene decide to share their story with the Washington Post. They initially appear naive but inadvertently become linked to the infamous Deep Throat, drawing more attention to their claims.

Things complicate when their crucial evidence—a list of names associated with the scandal—is consumed by Betsy's dog. This unfortunate event puts their credibility and the investigation in jeopardy, making their claims seem less believable.

As the aides of Nixon realize the threat posed by the girls, they resort to various underhanded tactics to try and silence them. This includes surveillance and even breaking into Betsy's home to discover what they know.

Determined to gather evidence, Betsy and Arlene sneak into Haldeman’s residence. They successfully steal an important tape recording, which they later provide to the Washington Post, significantly impacting the Nixon scandal.

Following the release of the tape and mounting evidence against him, Nixon resigns from the presidency. The girls mark this momentous occasion by displaying a sign from Betsy's house, humorously defying the former president one last time.
