Robert Wingate, a graft fighting candidate for governor, falls in love with Eleanor Brewster, his opponent's daughter. Robert is engaged, however, to Adele Hampton, a woman who is secretly involved with "man-about-town" Howard Lennox, and who only wants Robert so she can further her social ambitions. Eleanor and Robert decide that if he breaks off the engagement, the ensuing scandal would ruin his chances for election. After winning, Robert marries Adele, who continues her affair, but Lennox tires of her and pursues Eleanor. When Eleanor's brother Clifford learns of Lennox's insulting advances, he threatens to kill him. Because Lennox persists, Clifford goes to thrash him, but discovers him dead. Found with the body, Clifford is sentenced to death, and when his appeal is unsuccessful, Eleanor goes to Robert's hunting lodge to plead for a stay of execution. After she spends the night because of a storm, Adele accuses them of adultery, but later she breaks down, confesses killing Lennox, and drowns herself.

"The Warfare of the Flesh" does not mean a battle nor a struggle of flesh in the material sense. It means the eternal conflict our spirit and soul wage against the desires of the flesh. The warfare is between forces of good and those of evil. Thus the theme is developed by first showing the warfare of the flesh in the beginning, when the first transgressors were expelled from Heaven for their wrongdoing. We see the fallen angels in Hell and on Earth intent on spreading the scourge of evil. We see Satan and Sin in the Garden of Eden, and Sin tempts Eve, who is not strong enough to engage in a warfare with the desires of the flesh and win. We then pass on to the later civilization, and see the Magdalene about to be stoned because she was vanquished in the warfare of mind with matter. The Good Samaritan comes to her rescue, and the machinations of Satan and Sin are thus frustrated in a conflict with Good. Then there is a quick transition to the present era, and again we see Satan and Sin casting their ominous shadows over the affairs of mankind and accelerating evil, in the guise of a lady and gentleman of the leisure class. They temporarily befog the vision of weak men and women thrown into the maelstrom of life where the warfare of the flesh is perpetual. In the stress of circumstances the heroine is about to give up her fight with matter, but the eternal spirit of good again comes to the relief of the distressed and the unfortunate. Thus Satan and Sin lose out in a clash with the forces of Good.
