The Eleventh Hour Synopsis
Mad Prince Stefan intends to take over the world as soon as he acquires a new explosive developed at a plant owned by Barbara Hackett. By blackmailing them, Stefan wins the cooperation of Barbara's uncle and the dishonest executive, Glenville, who would like to marry Barbara. Brick McDonald, an employee of Prince Stefan's, wins Barbara's confidence and after many complications--wild chases involving motor boats, airplanes, and submarines; fights with lions; and a rescue from a threatened descent into a pit of molten steel--he frustrates Prince Stefan's plans and reveals himself as the Chief of the U. S. Secret Service.
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 Eleventh Hour" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
