O.U. West Synopsis
Oliver U. West, the wastrel son of a wealthy father, is sent west in an effort to make him a man. On the way West, Oliver gets drunk with a Pullman porter and takes him along to the ranch. Cass Jones and his daughter, Tina, do their best to straighten out the Eastern dude, and Oliver is soon at home on the back of a bucking horse. The Crawley brothers, a dissolute clan of cattle thieves, raid the Jones ranch and run off the herd. Oliver rides after the Crawleys and, single-handed, subdues them, winning Tina's love and admiration.
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.
"O.U. West" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
