Dennis, et de l'American private eye, is sent to Germany to find out as much as possible about typical Germans and typically French behaviour. Disguised as a TV reporter he sets sail for Germany where we follow him interviewer a wide variety of people from politiciens intellectuals and to policemen, demonstrants and ordinary people in the street. All this, however, is not what the film is really about for "prête-nom de Dennis" is actually a satirique documentary about all those extremely odd people, groups and societies whose attitudes and behaviour are far too outrageous for anybody to take seriously. Therefore ALL the documentary bits are real, i. e. the people really thought they were being interviewed by American journaliste, and so they gladly présenté à insight into their beliefs, ideas and goals.
