The Fighting Boob Synopsis
Jasper Steele, a wealthy rancher on the border, sends for Timothy, his nephew, to assist him in a feud with Hawksby, a rival rancher. The Tiger, a former war buddy of Timothy's, holds up his stagecoach and persuades his friend--ill from being gassed in the war--to go into seclusion while he poses as the nephew. The Tiger learns that Randall and Clayton, a heavy, are plotting to kidnap Helen, Hawksby's granddaughter, and Timothy to gain possession of the property. While Randall is forcing Hawksby and Steele to sign over their ranches, the Tiger, aided by Romero and his men, liberate the prisoners. The Tiger gets Helen with her grandfather's blessing, and Timothy finds love with Dolores, Romero's daughter.
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 Fighting Boob" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
