Challenge of the Yukon: King Breaks the Wheel of Fortune

The Challenge of the Yukon! The 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 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 Rule triumphant. The Wheel of Fortune saloon in Cypress City was the most elaborate gambling place in the Yukon.

Where most of the saloons and cafes were hurriedly thrown together barns, the Wheel of Fortune was different. It was different because Duke Mendoza, the small, elegantly dressed gambler who owned half of it, brought to the last and greatest North American frontier some of the lavishness that had made San Francisco's gambling halls famous. There was a luxury about the solid mahogany bar and

the drapes hanging in the long room that pleased Mendoza. He smiled to himself as he toyed with his watch-chain. The diamond on his well cared for hands and glittering in the light. With his partner he stood watching the installation of a new left wheel.

Hey, hey, when the miners get a look at this tonight to be throwin' their gold at us, huh? I still think you shouldn't have bought it. You laid out too much cash for a duke.

Don't forget we're in business to make money. What's wrong with you? Haven't you been getting more out of it than you ever put into the place? Oh yeah, sure, I'm not kicking about that, but this wheel isn't an ordinary one.
