* This seems to be the point of the BuddyCopShow, ''Series/TheGoodGuys''. An old NobleBigotWithABadge CowboyCop [[OddCouple is paired with a young]] ByTheBookCop and sent to investigate minor crimes (vandalism, shoplifting, etc.) to [[ReassignmentBackfire keep them out of trouble, but the duo almost always stumble across something much bigger]] (drug smugglers, car theft ring, etc.).

* Just like the films, ''Literature/JamesBond'' had this as a common trope:
** ''Literature/{{Moonraker}}'': National hero cheating at cards → plot to nuke London with the most powerful missile ever built by said national hero, who is actually an ex-Nazi.
** ''Literature/DrNo'': Disappearance of British agent and his secretary → plot by EvilGenius to shut down the missile launches at Cape Canaveral while selling the missile's secrets to Moscow.
** ''Literature/{{Goldfinger}}'': Richest man in England cheating at cards and smuggling gold → absolutely insane plot to blow Fort Knox open with a nuke and steal all the gold. Bond even lampshades this trope at one point in the book, musing how he went from simple investigation to being tangled up in Goldfinger's scheme.
** ''Literature/ForYourEyesOnly'' has one in "Risico": Bond contracted to kill famous smuggler → working with said famous smuggler to kill Bond's client, who is a major drug lord.
** ''Literature/{{Thunderball}}'': Attempted murder of Bond at health clinic → plot to destroy Miami with two stolen nuclear warheads by NebulousEvilOrganization.
** ''Literature/OnHerMajestysSecretService'': Bond getting kidnapped by Corsican mob boss → scheme to stop Blofeld from devastate England with biological weapons made at a health clinic in Switzerland.
** ''Literature/YouOnlyLiveTwice'': Meeting with [=MI6=] ally in Japan → final attempt to assassinate Blofeld for once and for all.
** ''Literature/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'': BrainwashedAndCrazy Bond attempting to kill M → plot to assassinate psychotic Cuban hitman.
** ''Literature/ColonelSun'': M gets kidnapped → plot by former Nazi and sadistic PLA Colonel to mortar a peace conference.
** ''Literature/TriggerMortis'': Going undercover at Nuremberg Rally to protect British racing driver → plot to blow up the Empire State building by South Korean millionaire.
