You Can't Beat the Law Synopsis
Jerry Judd, a young cop, is on the trail of a gang of stick-up men who rob jewelry stores. He falls in love with Patricia Barry, who it turns out is the sister of the gang's leader, Blackie. She loves Jerry, too, but is torn between her love for him and her loyalty to her brother, and is put to the test when Jerry gets closer to discovering where the gang's hideout is.
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.
"You Can't Beat the Law" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
