Hard-Hittin' Hamilton Synopsis
Bill Hamilton is on his way to inspect the Lazy-B ranch, which he has inherited, when he collides with the Lazy-B foreman, Buck Wilson, and has a fight with him. Later, while working on Jim Downing's ranch, he foils Wilson's attempts to acquire Downing's mortgage and foreclose. Mary Downing helps by forcing a confession from the man who killed her father, thus clearing Bill of murder charges. Bill protects Mary from Buck just before a rescue party arrives.
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.
"Hard-Hittin' Hamilton" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
