Tragödie im Zirkus Royal Synopsis
In the Circus Royal, the young artists Ziska, Armand, Frank and their mentor Atto perform the aerial sensation "Ghosts of the Night" every day in front of an enthusiastic crowd. Armand is in love with Ziska. When she rejects him because she loves only Frank, Armand throws himself from the trapeze and dies. A mysterious inventor, Dr. Magirus, constructs a radio-mechanical human puppet, who is supposed to replace Armand in the act.
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.
"Tragödie im Zirkus Royal" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
