Emilie Loring's 'The Trail of Conflict' follows the glittering and empty marriage of convenience between young, handsome, and wealthy Geraldine Glamorgan and aristocratic Steve Courtlandt. When tragedy brings Steve ownership of a ranch in the West, they move there, risking Geraldine's father's wrath and her income, to live as simple ranchers. However, strange events put Geraldine in danger, and misunderstandings threaten to ruin their newfound happiness.
