Along a Broken Trail is a compelling story beginning in 1867 following the Civil War. Jake Hollister is a dashing former Union officer. Jake meets Katie, who is swept off her feet. Shortly after their marriage, Jake receives a telegram from an attorney residing in the Wyoming territory who tells him his uncle has passed away and has left the ranch to him. Katie and Jake decide to take the train west to begin a new life as ranchers in a hostile environment. After arriving in Big Pine Springs, Katie and Jake settle in to their new life, adjusting to ranch life and the frontier. Following a few days in their new setting, five riders show up inquiring about Jake. They inquire about gold, which Jake knows nothing about. After a short conversation Jake is brutally killed and Katie is severely injured. The ploy to force Katie to sell the ranch backfires. Instead of selling, Katie decides to stay and track down the five men, dealing with each of them in her own way. In her journey Katie becomes aware of who is behind her husband's death and the motive. At the end a showdown occurs and the law of the frontier ultimately prevails.
