Top o' the Morning Synopsis
Jerry O'Donnell arrives from Ireland to be with her father in America, but when she finds living with her stepmother unpleasant, she leaves home and encourages millionaire John Garland, whom she knew in Ireland, now a widower.

Jerry's brother Eugene O'Donnell, a cashier in Garland's bank, is implicated in a robbery of his employer; Jerry is also involved, apprehended, and jailed. Garland clears the O'Donnells and proclaims his love for Jerry.
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.
"Top o' the Morning" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
