Sun Dog Trails Synopsis
Coming into the town of Sun-Dog, the stage is held up, and Dave Richards and his pal, Silent Slade, find a note in the empty coach that implicates Scott Martin, the driver. Richards loves Jean, Martin's daughter, and, suspecting a frame up, he decides not to report his discovery to the sheriff. The gang's leader, Zell Mohr, later throws suspicion on Richards, and when things get too hot for him, he escapes into the hills. Meanwhile, Jean wrings the truth from her father: the note was left by the gang to repay Martin for refusing to join in with them; Jean, Richards, and Slade capture the gang, and the sheriff takes them off to jail while Richards takes Jean in his arms.
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.
"Sun Dog Trails" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
