The final night opens with actor Jimmy Stewart and First Lady Pat Nixon. Then Congressman Gerald Ford introduces Vice President Spiro T. Agnew who will in turn bring out Richard Nixon for the main event.
Then Richard Nixon will deliver his acceptance speech for a second term as President. At that moment, Richard Nixon sat on top of the world.

All was going perfectly, what could possibly go wrong?
