Sa tête Synopsis
Jean Bonard, the only son of a widow, goes to visit his mother in the small village where she lives. However, in the early hours of the morning the police arrive to arrest him and take him to court charged with the murder of a banker. The mother tries desperately to aid her son and meets up with Blanche, her son's friend. Jean maintains his innocence and Blanche comes to his aid by persuading her brother Paul, who is the real perpetrator of the crime, to clear Jean and save him from execution. He is released and goes off with Blanche. His old mother returns home, and ignorant of Jean's release the villagers treat her coldly as the mother of a criminal.
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.
"Sa tête" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
