Body and soul: the story of a minister gone corrupt. He associates with the owner of a house of gambling, forces a girl to steal and later kills the girl's brother. But, when all is said and done it's only a dream. Borderline: Adah, a negro woman has an affair with Thorne, a white man. To the dismay of some of the townfolk and Thorne's wife "Astrid", Adah attempts to reconcile with her man "Pete". Eventually, Adah leaves him and the town. Astrid goes mad and cuts Thorne's face and arm with a knife, then mysteriously dies. Thorne is tried and acquitted. Because of the events, the Mayor sends Pete a letter asking him to leave town for the good of all concerned.
