Hardboiled Rose Synopsis
A bank officer steals valuable securities from his bank to pay off debts owed to a notorious gambler, but the disgrace is more than he can bear and does himself in. His loyal secretary, a beau of the banker's daughter, takes the blame instead for the sake of her family honor. She in turn tries to help him by trying to locate the missing bonds by seducing the gambler's son.
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.
"Hardboiled Rose" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
