I am seeking what I thought would be easy...
A ordinary NEMA-type 120V straight blade plug with integral fuse.
I know this post is a few months old, but a Daniel Woodhead 14F47 may do
what you want; it is a fused NEMA 5-15 plug. Apparently Woodhead is now
part of Molex and the Molex part number is 130144-0014 .
The official data sheet is here
http://www.woodhead.com/webdocs/datasheets/pdf/en-us/1301440014_WIRING_DEVICES.pdf
but it annoyingly doesn't say what kind of fuse it uses. Googling
gives a vendor photo that suggests it is an 0.25" x 1.25" glass
cartridge style fuse:

Newark doesn't stock it but says they can get it for $44. Some other
industrial-automation places say they have them for around $40.
I also Googled and found Hubbell HBL5299, which is also a fused NEMA
5-15 plug. It only has a CSA rating (not UL), if that matters. Data
sheet is here
http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/wiring/section-a-datasheet.asp?PN=HBL5299
but again doesn't say what kind of fuse it uses.
Same deal with Newark; don't have but can get for $43. Other vendors
say they can get it for about $40. There are some on Ebay at the
moment for about $14.
I've never actually used either one of these plugs; I just remember the
Woodhead one from when this came up before, somewhere in
sci.electronics.
Standard disclaimers apply; I don't get money or other consideration
from any companies mentioned.
