''Bob Roberts'' takes place in Pennsylvania, USA in 1990. It depicts a fictitious senatorial race between a Conservatism Republican Party (United States) country singer, Bob Roberts, and the incumbent Democratic Party (United States), Brickley Paiste. The film is shot through the perspective of Terry Manchester, a British documentary filmmaker who is following the Roberts campaign. Through his lens we see Roberts travel across the state, performing songs about drug users, lazy people and the triumph of traditional family values over the rebelliousness of the 1960s. As the campaign continues, Paiste remains in the lead until a scandal arises involving him and a young woman who was seen emerging from a car with him. Paiste claims that she was a friend of his granddaughter whom he was driving home, but he cannot shake the accusations.
