Adam rushes to the cabin where George and Elsie are staying, and the brothers fight. Adam is knocked senseless, and George, who thinks that he has killed his brother, rushes horrified from the cabin and falls over a cliff. Adam regains consciousness and rescues George. George reforms and makes good with his first wife; Adam marries Elsie.
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 Other Kind of Love" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
