The Thrill Chaser Synopsis
Working as a motion-picture extra, Westerner Omar K. Jenkins (Hoot Gibson) impresses Sheik Ussan, a visiting Arab prince, with his pugilistic ability. Engaged to go to Arabia, he becomes involved in war between rival principalities and falls in love with Olala (Billie Dove), a princess who is promised. Omar is taken prisoner and readied for the chopping block when Sheik Ussan intervenes.
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 Thrill Chaser" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
