The residents of an isolated mountain town must band together to survive during a devastating heat wave. This TV-movie aired as part of the ABC Movie of the Week on 1/26/1974.
The plot focuses upon the effect an intense and prolonged heat wave and water shortage has on Frank Taylor (Ben Murphy) and his pregnant wife Laura Taylor (Bonnie Bedelia; she would later go on to play Bruce Wilis' ex-wife in Die Hard), both while they are in the city where they live and after they decide to relocate.

So, if you're bummed about running out of toilet paper and meat, things could be worse!
Any fans of actor David Huddleston will get a kick out of his small role.
"That's a dumb question, Miss Glenn’s Organ."
