Celebrity Synopsis
Circus, the manager of boxer Kid Reagan, has an idea: to make him more popular with an educated milieu, he wants him to write poetry. But that's not his thing. No matter. Circus then enlists the services of an ex-journalist to write the poems that his protégé will simply sign. And to make the boxer even more popular, he recruits two vaudeville actresses, a mother and a daughter, to play the roles of his pseudo kind mother and his alleged tender lover.
The Jackeroo of Coolabong Synopsis
Brian O'Farrell (Snowy Baker), is an English 'new chum' who takes a job at an Australian cattle station. He is teased by station hands because of his appearance (including spats and a monocle) but he soon impresses them with his skills at riding and boxing. The station manager, John MacDonald (Wilfred Lucas), takes O'Farrell to Sydney to meet his daughter Edith (Kathleen Key) who is working in the slums. Edith is kidnapped by criminals after witnessing a crime but O'Farrell rescues her. It is later revealed he is the owner of the station.
"Celebrity" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
