In order to catch a pair of international swindlers called Lord and Lady Rathburne, government agent Bill Swift disguises himself as a cowhand and gets a job on a ranch. The couple is planning to steal an expensive black pearl from Bill's boss, a retired sea captain named Randall. To complicate matters, Bill soon falls in love with Randall's pretty young daughter, Helen.
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.
"Flashing Steeds" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
