So This Is Paris Synopsis
Jack and his party, arriving in France, escape the native reporters by disguising in beards. Later, Jack, mistaking an Apache dance for an attack, rescues the dancer's partner from an apparent assault, getting in a fight with, unknown to either of them, his forthcoming opponent. The fight continues in the hotel, on the sidewalk, in the street, and, when arrested, in their joint cell. Put in separate cells, they tear down the wall and mix it up again. Jack overpowers the gendarmes, dons one of their uniforms and escapes. That night, in the ring, the two fighters discover each other's identity, and fight one of the stiffest grudge battles ever seen. Jack wins the bout, and harmony reigns once more.
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.
"So This Is Paris" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
