Get Your Man Synopsis
Though loved by Scottish coal miner Jock MacTier, Margaret MacPherson marries paymaster Arthur Whitman. After saving his rival's life in a mine flood, Jock goes to Canada and joins the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. There he makes the acquaintance of Lenore De Marney, whose father is a reputed fur smuggler. Meanwhile, Arthur embezzles funds, leaves his wife, and arrives in Canada, where he plots to rob Lenore's father. Jock intervenes, and although her father is killed in the ensuing gun-play, Lenore aids the Mountie in capturing Arthur. Jock's admiration turns to love, and Lenore consents to marry him.
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.
"Get Your Man" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
