The Coast Patrol Synopsis
John Slocum, a retired naval officer, runs a lighthouse, but the job he likes best is taking care of his young ward Little Beth. However, a sly smuggler named Eric Manmont and his beautiful accomplice Valerie are about to use John and Beth in a clever smuggling scheme. What they don't know is that the Coast Patrol has assigned agent Dale Ripley to find and capture the smugglers.
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 Coast Patrol" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
