Skyfire Synopsis
Canadian Mountie Barr Conroy ( Neal Hart ) heads to the lawless trading post Skyfire in search of the killer of one of his comrades. There he is pursued by a man who believes that Conroy has insulted the man's daughter, Marette ( Rita Pickering ). In fact, Marette's persecutor is trader Jean Beaupre ( William Quinn ), who is also the killer that Conroy seeks. Conroy eventually clears himself, gets his man, and marries Marette.
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.
"Skyfire" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
