The Big Heat was filmed in 1953 with Glen Ford playing Detective Sergeant Dave Bannion. Bannion is investigating the death of fellow officer Tom Duncan which seemed like a suicide, but Duncan's mistress Lucy Chapman claims otherwise and mentions a second home that Duncan had which was above more than his salary could afford.

After threatening calls are made to his residence, Bannion pays a visit to local mob boss Mike Lagana at his home and confronts him about the calls. The warnings fall deaf on Bannion's ears however, and an attempt is made on his life. A bomb meant for him is placed in his car, but Mrs. Bannion is killed instead when it explodes in the driveway of their home.
