The Man Who Would Not Die Synopsis
An old chief tells a friendly white man a story of his youth. A white man stopped in the village on his way towards the setting sun. The Indian made him welcome. When he left he took with him the daughter of the chief betrothed to a member of her own tribe. The young brave went in pursuit and rescued the girl before any harm came to her. The old chief knows the story is true because in the long ago he was the young brave.
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 Man Who Would Not Die" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
