The Forbidden Trail (1913)
Surfeited with society and blinded by the glamour of his reputation, Frances marries Captain Meade, a grizzled Arctic explorer of middle age. It is not long, however, until her love of young companions awakens her husband's jealousy. His continual spying and frequent outbursts of jealous rage quickly destroy the last vestiges of love and put an end to the young wife's happiness. Fred Palmer, a friend and business associate of the captain, is a frequent caller at his mansion. The call of youth proves too strong for both young people. The inevitable occurs. One day the captain receives a letter calling him out of town on business. He hands it to Frances, watching her as she reads. A gleam of satisfaction in her eyes, a poorly hidden smile, and the husband's jealousy is suddenly fanned into flame. Craftily he plans to catch her walking in the forbidden trail. He pretends to start upon his journey, but doubles back and unexpectedly returns. Finding Palmer waiting at the usual rendezvous, he gives him one of two pistols which he carries bidding him defend himself. A few moments later Frances arrives and finds that a tragedy has been enacted.
