The Mohican's Daughter Synopsis
Jees Uck, a half-breed maiden desired by Chatanna, chief of the tribe with which she lives, defies tribal law by getting medicine from the trading post for the sick child of her friend, Inigo. Nashinta, the medicine man, defends her against the chief. Chatanna kills Nashinta and puts the blame on Jees Uck, who flees into the arms of Neil Bonner, trading post manager, who loves her. The post is attacked, but Jees Uck surrenders to save her white friends. Neil finds evidence against the chief, delivers him to the authorities, and marries Jees Uck.
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 Mohican's Daughter" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
