The Wall Street Whiz Synopsis
During a raid on a gambling house, Dick Butler, who leads a double life as both a wealthy libertine and as the "Wall Street Whiz," dodges the police and leaps into a car driven by Mrs. McCooey. He is immediately taken with the beauty of young Peggy McCooey and proclaims himself to be a "Butler." Mrs. McCooey misunderstands and Dick soon finds himself working as a servant to the family. He uses the opportunity to foil the attempts of crooked stockbroker John Clayton to ruin Mr. McCooey in the market and to thwart a pair of burglars in the broker's employ. Dick's identity is eventually disclosed, and he marries Peggy.
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 Wall Street Whiz" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
