The Challenge of the Yukon! The King of the U.S. Team! Wonder Dog King, swiftest and 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-monitored police, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country, for 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.

In the headquarters of the Northwest modded police, Sergeant Preston stood listening to his superior officer, Inspector Maynard. The older man frowns, he spoke. Alaska had soapy Smith. The Yukon has many rentals. Sergeant, he must be stopped.
