Challenge of the Yukon: By Hook or by Crook

The challenge of the Yukon! A king! A new husky! 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 mounted 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 justice ruled triumphant. The Groundhog Cafe in Hightopp was crowded as Sergeant Preston and King made their way through the miners, trappers, and gamblers, standing two and three deep at the bar.

Oh, there's a shot. Yes, get in. Hello, Tom. How's your luck tonight? Ah, not so good. Seems like a cadre. Give me something to come sometime. Me and tell me about you. Thanks. I'll do that one of these days.

Hello, Clem. Well, Sergeant Preston. You ain't a sight for sore eyes. How are you? Fine, fine. How's everything with you? Never been better. It's pretty crowded, ain't it? The groundhog's never empty. That's Mike's boast, isn't it?

Yeah. Say, I guess you're looking for Mike. to see him but finding him and this mob seems hopeless. Oh, he's back in his office. Come on. Drinks around the house if you mind to have some.

Oh, thanks, Clem. But you know how it is. Yeah, I know. 24 hours a day on duty. Here we are. Mike's going to be glad to see you. Only yesterday he was asking about you.
