The Broken Spur Synopsis
Joe Dayton is in charge of building a railroad through a section of northwestern Canada. Jacques Durand, a bandit whose territory the railroad is to run though, knows that if it is completed it will bring law and order and drive him out, so he sets out to stop it any way he can--and the fact that he and Dayton look enough like each other to be twins makes his job somewhat easier.
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.
"The Broken Spur" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
