The Enforcer is the third film in the Dirty Harry series from 1976 Directed by James Fargo. The film opens as two gas men are lured by a scantily-clad lady to a remote spot and killed by a guy, Bobby Maxwell.
Meanwhile, Inspector Harry Callahan and his partner, Frank DiGeorgio, are dispatched to a liquor store where a few guys have taken hostages. The standoff ends when Harry drives his car into the store and shoots up the gang.
Back at the station, Harry is reprimanded for the expenses on injured hostages and damage to the store by his boss, Captain McKay, and is transferred from the Homicide unit to Personnel.
The next day Harry is part of judging the interview process for new inspectors. Being told that 3 of 8 new positions are going to be female, including Inspector Kate Moore, who has worked in Personnel for nine years with no experience in homicide, she has never made any arrests or has never been in any violent situations.
Harry is disapproving of her potential promotion to Inspector. That night, the PRSF use the stolen gas service van
to enter U.S. Army weapons storage to steal weapons in support of their political statement. Meanwhile, DiGeorgio and another police officer find a dead guard, and DiGeorgio looks around the warehouse for any suspicious activity.
He eventually finds the terrorists and holds them at gunpoint but Maxwell stabs him in his back. At the same moment he is going down, DiGeorgio shoots a female member of the gang. Despite protests of another gang member, Maxwell finishes her off and leaves DiGeorgio for dead.
