Transcript
The challenge of the Yukon. The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Estimalee 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 new Northwest country,
where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King met that challenge, and Justice ruled triumphant. Corporal Standish was one of the youngest men on the force of the northwest-martid police.
He smiled to himself as he glanced at his two prisoners plotting along the frozen trail. Jack Snyder and Sam McLean, two of the wileiest criminals to set foot in the Yukon. With a sense of pride, he anticipated the satisfaction he'd experience when he marched them into headquarters.
But fate sometimes cheats a man of a hard-earned victory, and even as Corporal Standish urged his team on confidently, Jack Snyder spoke guardedly to his partner. It's a great word, travel. Both of us will be looking through bars, mighty soon, unless we make a break.
You're like, uh, now listen, you got nothing to lose. I'll end up hanging both of us and you know it. Yeah? Yeah. It seems like you and that Māori have been kind of palsy. Maybe you'll figure he'll close his eyes and let us run away.
Yeah, and I've been trying to make him think we're letting him take us in without any trouble. Yeah, just two model prisoners. You're generally losing your nerve and what little brains you had. That'll be making camp in an hour or so.
