Challenge of the Yukon: King Meets Soapy Smith

The challenge of the Yukon! Sergeant King! Sergeant King! A wonder dog king, swiftness and strongest of Eskimo Elite 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 Mountain 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 Rood triumphant.

In mid-summer of 1897, two young men, each bearing a heavy pack, waited ashore from a rowboat fast on the mud flat at the mouth of the Dai River in Alaska. Hey Luke, this is the last in mud we're plowing to.

Well, I'll feel better about it when I get my feet on dry ground again. Well, that does it. Come on, let's stop in that store over there. Hey, wait a minute. Who's that? That gent coming this way.

Looks like he's part of a welcoming committee. He's got a load of the shiner he's wearing in his shirt front. Yeah, I've seen that guy someplace before. Hello, fellas. Going over to the club, Doug.

Last news, man. This week is great. Gold and every creep with a million. You're sure to make a strike. That's what we're here for, stranger. Hey! Last time I saw you, you were on a street in Denver.

Selling $20 bills wrapped around cakes of soap. To the suckers for a dollar. Remember? Sure. Sure I remember. I'm still giving him away. Jefferson Randolph Smith chuckled to himself. It was from his earlier street selling line that he'd acquired his alias, Soapy Smith.
