Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. Unsus King of the Yukon. Unsus King. One of the dog kings, swiftest and strongest of ettmole dogs, blazes the trails 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, 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.

The story behind the fabulous Valor of Diamond was one mixed with good and bad fortune for those who possessed it. It seems strange indeed that this diamond, resting safely in the United States in 1897, was destined to be the cause of death in the Yukon, a territory as incredible as the almost legendary story of the Precious Dawn itself. In the old Barlow mansion in New York City,

there was a deep quiet. A servant stalked in hushed whispers as nurses and crisply-starts uniforms went back and forth through the echoing halls to Mrs. Barlow's bedroom. Doctors held lengthy consultations. There were consultations, too, in the kitchen, as the cook brewed an early morning cup of tea.

Here, now, Agam, is just as little as your comfortable. What if have a need of it a good cup of tea? You too, Mary. The film is a bottle of hardly last a day. She's pretty far gone. Young Mr. George is a mighty sad man.

Is it he didn't have enough on his mind? And, just what do you mean by that? Why, that girl and the Queen, heard her father left us here yesterday. From there she says they're going to the Yukon.
