Who is The Enforcer?  Is it Humphrey Bogart as District Attorney Martin Ferguson, who enforces the law, slapping hoods where necessary, an enforcer of morals in a sick crime game?  Is The Enforcer Everett Sloane as Moriarty-like mastermind Albert Mendoza, a man so feared in the city that even the mention of his name enforces a certain silence, an absolute fear, the inevitability of a violent death? 

Or is it tough guy turned snivelling snitch, Rico, played by Ted De Corsia, whose king-pin status keeps the whole racket going; Rico who enforces the deadly conviction of the mysterious boss man, until his own nasty death?
