Hot Stuff is a 1979 American action crime comedy film[1][2] starring Dom DeLuise, Suzanne Pleshette, Jerry Reed and Ossie Davis.

In Miami, police detectives Ernie, Ramon, and Doug grow frustrated at their inability to convict the criminals they arrest.

One night, Doug observes his friend Hymie selling stolen merchandise inside his pawn shop, and arrests him.

The next morning, Doug proposes to Geiberger and his coworkers to set up a sting operation to trap criminals making illegal transactions, and record them on a portable VHS videotape camera.

Geiberger gets the police chief's approval to the operation, but will deny any knowledge if word is leaked to the department or the press.

Kiley leaves, and a young boy arrives wanting to sell a dog for one hundred dollars to feed him and his sister.

While Louise and Ramon videotape from afar, Ernie and Doug are taken to a waterfront condominium construction site where the guns are stored.

Back at the pawn shop, Louise notices that one of the Cuban cigar boxes they recently bought earlier contains a bomb deliberately planted by Carmine.
