Diamond Carlisle Synopsis
Daring bandit Diamond Carlisle and Lopez, a murderer, cleverly escape from a posse and cross the border into Canada. Abandoned by Lopez, Carlisle is hired by gambler and saloon-keeper Black Meyer to use his skill with cards to bankrupt Dick Boyd, who owns valuable timberland. Carlisle proceeds successfully until he falls in love with Dick's sister, Mae. He then has a change of heart and returns his winnings to Dick. Lopez reappears, fights with Carlisle, and is killed. Carlisle exchanges clothes with him, thus satisfying the Northwest Mounted Police, when they find the body, and leaving Carlisle free to marry Mae.
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.
"Diamond Carlisle" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
