After the Church of Scientology refuses to cooperate in making a documentary, Louis Theroux teams up with former senior church official Mark Rathbun to create dramatic reconstructions of incidents within the church witnessed by Rathbun and other ex-Scientologists. They focus in particular on alleged violent behaviour by the church's leader David Miscavige at its secretive Gold Base facility in California, which Theroux visits. The church retaliates by putting Theroux and his film crew under surveillance, leading to camera-wielding confrontations with a Scientology "squirrel buster" team and with church officials outside Gold Base. Theroux raises questions about Rathbun's own former complicity in the church's "terroristic" activities, leading to tensions between the two men.

Bourdin, who turned out to have a long record of impersonating various children, real or imaginary, embellished his claim to be Nicholas Barclay by alleging that he had been kidnapped for purposes of sexual abuse by Mexican, European, and U.S. military personnel and transported from Texas to Spain. His impersonation fooled several officials in Spain and the U.S., and he was apparently accepted by many of Barclay's family members, even though he was seven years older than Barclay, spoke with a French accent, and had brown eyes and dark hair rather than Barclay's blue eyes and blonde hair. The impersonation was eventually unearthed as a result of the suspicions of a private investigator, Charles (Charlie) Parker, and an FBI agent, Nancy Fisher. Bourdin subsequently made a full confession, and in the film he elaborates on the various stages in his impersonation.

À la fin des années 1960, Sixto Rodriguez enregistre deux albums de chansons réalistes (édités par Sussex Records), proches par l'esprit d'un Bob Dylan. Ces disques, dont le premier, Cold Facts, contient le single Sugar Man, sont reçus favorablement par la critique mais n'obtiennent aucun succès public. Rodriguez est donc contraint de poursuivre son métier d'ouvrier-maçon. Mais, de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, en Afrique du Sud, sous le régime de l'apartheid, ses disques rencontrent un grand succès auprès de la jeunesse, en particulier blanche. Le paradoxe d'un musicien, point prophète en son pays, et qui, sans le savoir, devient une idole dans une autre contrée. Le film suit l'enquête de deux fans du Cap sur la disparition supposée du chanteur. Toutefois, « loin de dissiper ce mystère, le film l'alimente plutôt ».
