The Challenge of the Yukon! King, the swiftest, strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston, as he meets the Challenge of the Yukon! Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest Motted Police, who preserved law and order in the Yukon during the Gold Rush of 98.

That was the year that brought over 50,000 men swarming into the Klondike region, And the greed for gold led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, the force preserved a splendid record in maintaining the right.

The challenge of the North was answered and just as rule triumphant. Shortly after daybreak, two men stood watching a distant sled and dog team break tracks through the snow. Hidden from view behind two huge rocks, they waited.

Eyes cold with greed and watchfulness. See, I told you it wouldn't be long after day break. Yeah, you're right. I got a hand at you, bud. You sure had this one studied, huh? You old man carrying that hall at dust.

You think I'd take any chances? That's why we've been lucky. When you take time to plan, they're out of the mistakes. I ain't worrying none about the mistakes. What I care about is get my hands on as much gold that's mine for the taking.

You just be careful how you take it. I was just stick with me. You won't have to worry about that noos waiting to drop over your head. You can play him. You can fill up hope faster this way than Peddlin Beverskins.

How much do you care about ladies carrying? Plenty. Thomas has been making this trip to the bank for a long time. Surprise nobody thought of this before. Got your gun ready? Huh? Oh sure. You can make him out pretty plain now.
