Transcript

The Challenge of the Yukon. A King! And the Ushki! 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-modded police, who preserved law and order in the new northwest country, 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. Two men walked into the long narrow frame building that served

as a bank in Morrison. They walked one after the other, and before he closed the door behind them, the second man looked back to the warmly dressed lookout standing by the sleds. They exchanged nods, and, apparently, satisfied, the men closed the door. Looks like you're about ready to close up.

Oh, yes, that's right. We are. We just made it in time. Say, I don't think I've ever seen you before. Go and open the counter here? Or than you have one. Funny, I never forget a face.

I never would have thought that... What's the name? Away some time, boss. Let's get the dust and get out of here. Would you say the name was? I didn't. Drop that book, Mr. Enrich. Hey, who?

Now you can walk over and open that safe. You want me to get moving? Hey, yes, you. Don't you go over and get what dust in the cast, you're all... Sure, boss. What's Stalin's spin that combination?

A little bit nervous. Maybe I'd better leave. If that paper money in the gold out of there. What does he drop in the drawer, champ? Good. I'll load all this in a sec. There. That's all there was in the safe.
