The Gateway of the Moon Synopsis
To prevent discovery of the cruel methods he is using in building a Bolivian railway, Gillespie ( Anders Randolf ), a ruthless construction crew foreman, attempts to kill Arthur Wyatt ( Walter Pidgeon ), an Englishman sent to inspect the job. Gillespie's niece, Toni ( Dolores Del Rio ), a half-breed, discovers the plot and saves Wyatt after he has been shot by her uncle's accomplice.
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 Gateway of the Moon" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
