The Fire Patrol Synopsis
In the midst of a romantic entanglement between Colin and Molly Thatcher, Capt. John Ferguson, blinded and cast adrift from his wife by sea pirate "Butch" Anderson 18 years earlier, miraculously stumbles on the villain when he is rescued from a wrecked ship by the fire patrol and takes his revenge.
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 Fire Patrol" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
